NB Due to the leader's dodgy back and a poor weather forecast, this shorter walk is replacing the original published 8.5 miles walk. (Same starting place).
A fairly easy 6 mile stroll passing through a mixture of parkland, farmland and woodland, plus the opportunity to see some original Roman mosaics (if not too overgrown). From Winchcombe our route heads out past Sudeley Castle following the Winchcombe Way for a couple of miles. After a moderate climb (not steep) we then veer off and drop down through woods and continue across farmland and along tracks , past Sudeley Castle again, back to Winchcombe.
Mostly on good paths and tracks. Just a few stiles. Could be muddy in places in the woods. Slight possibility of meeting some livestock, mostly sheep but just possibly some cattle. Suitable for well-behaved dogs on leads. Bring refreshments.
