We are the Gloucestershire Walking Group. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Meet at the Cheltenham Racecourse steam railway station from 10.30 a.m. to catch the 10.55 train to Toddington. From Toddington we will walk alongside the railway towards Didbrook and along paths to Hailes Abbey for a lunch stop before walking onwards to Winchcombe station via the Cotswold Way. We should have time at Winchcombe station to sample a few ales before catching the last train back to Cheltenham at 3.57 p.m.
The train fare is £25 day for a day return.
Further Information:
Do ensure you wear appropriate clothing for the weather and terrain. Walking boots are recommended. Bring poles if you think you'll need them or it has been specifically recommended in the walk description.
You are recommended to carry identification and emergency contact details.
Please always check the details for a walk before setting off.
Dogs are not permitted on this walk, except for registered assistance dogs. If you have any concerns about route suitability, please consult with the walk leader beforehand.
Photography: We encourage you to take photos on our walks, but we ask that you do not share photos that include people’s faces anywhere public, including Meetup
Occasionally, group photos may be taken during walks. The photographer will always tell you where these will be shared, such as Meetup, the 20s and 30s members’ WhatsApp group, or for promotional purposes on the Gloucestershire Walking Group website.
If you do not want to be in a group photo, please step aside.
This walk is arranged by ramblers and is free to join. After 2 or 3 walks we request you become a member of the ramblers. This gives you access to a wide range of walks across the UK, provides assistance with outdoor activity skills and helps to keep public footpaths open.
Meet at the Cheltenham Racecourse steam railway station from 10.30 a.m. on Sunday for the 10.55 train to Toddington.
