Overview

The first couple of miles are on tarmac and hard track through a secluded woody valley. We then pass Chatcombe wood heading towards Cheltenham with fine views on a clear day. We return to Kilkenny along the ridge above the Dowdeswell valley. There are no difficult hills or stiles but some muddy sections are likely. 1 refreshment stop.
