Overview

Come and explore the Cotswold Commons and Beechwood National Nature Reserve. Buckholt Wood, Cooper's Hill Wood and Cranham Common are the main constituents of the reserve and they are all included in this walk. If you like woodland walking, idyllic houses and stunning views, this one is for you. 

Local walk terrain 2, hilly and level mix. There are a few ascents and descents (some steep), several stiles and it could be quite muddy in places after heavy rain. 

Meet at 9.50am. Coffee and lunch stop.

Car parking available at Cranham Scout HQ, car share where possible - please bring £1.00 cash donation.

The Black Horse Inn, Cranham, is a lovely, community run pub for those wanting post walk refreshments.
