9 people attending
16 places left
We are sorry this event has been cancelled at short notice due to unforseen circumstances.
This circular walk takes in unspoilt villages and some of the best scenery that the Cotswolds has to offer. The route provides several dramatic views in all directions while the bluebells make this a great springtime walk. There are a few long climbs but the effort is well rewarded.
What to bring
Water: bring at least a litre
Medicines: if you have hay fever, diabetes, minor ailments etc.
Rucksack: or any other bag
Footwear: hiking boots, sturdy trainers or wellies
Layered clothing: lets you quickly adapt to changes in the weather and body temperature. Go for a base layer (vest or t-shirt) and a mid layer (a micro fleece or shirt) and in cooler weather add an outer layer (a windproof jacket or thick fleece)

Waterproof jacket: breathable fabrics are more comfortable and dry
Hat or cap: stay warm in winter and shaded in summer
Sunglasses: for any sunny day, even in winter
Sun cream: can be useful even on cloudy and winter days
