Overview

A lovely, reasonably energetic walk from Southam (Gloucestershire). From the parking the walk climbs steeply to Cleeve Common, past the Golf Club and Cockbury Court. Then across the road to Manor Farm and up to Prescott, where we may see and hear racing cars! Returning via Gotherington Farm, Bushcomb Wood and Woodmancote.

Bring poles if you use them and a picnic lunch.

Please note that dogs are not permitted on N. Cotswold Group walks except for registered assistance dogs. If you have questions about the suitability of the walk, please contact the walk leader in advance.
