A walk back in time taking in the Cotswold escarpment by walking over and around it. Expect to see autumnal tree colours in Pen and Stanley Woods, pass Nympsfield Long Barrow chambered tomb before reaching the hilltop of Coaley Peak offering splendid views (on a good day) across Gloucestershire to the Forest of Dean and Welsh mountains.
Lunch will be at the midway point around the perimeter of Uley Bury, Cotswold's most impressive and well-preserved hillfort dating back to about 300 BC.
The landscape is undulating so walking boots with sturdy grip are recommended.
There are no pub or café stops so ensure you bring ample lunch/snack/fluids.
Unfortunately, trains don’t arrive early enough for the walk leader to pick up. Suggest reaching out on our Facebook page or Discord app (if a WMWG member) if a lift is still required.
10.30am Park/meet at Selsey Common car park (free parking), Stroud, Gloucestershire, GL5 5PL. There are several free parking small car parks on one side of the road. Meet/park at the car park diagonally opposite Yew Tree Cottage Selsey Common or one of the car parks closest.
