Overview

This walk starts along a gentle ascent on part of the Cotswold way. We then turn right and continue along a section of quiet road which takes us to the footpath leading to the top of Leckhampton Hill. Hopefully we will have lovely views of Cheltenham and we’ll have our refreshment break at the top. We then continue the walk around the hill with views across to the Severn valley. We eventually come back to the section of the Cotswold Way we started along. No stiles and one coffee/tea refreshment stop.
