A rather damp walk on Easter Monday starting from Cranham common and round to the Chedworth villa.  The bluebells were out in abundance.  Lunch was at the Black Horse.

Coln Rogers to Saltway

Today's walk was another from walkweb starting at Coln Rogers.  The walk starts and ends at from a pretty Saxon church close to the river.  It looks like spring is coming.  Lunch was as at the Fossebridge Inn which we'd spotted last week.

Chedworth Roman Villa via Withington

Today's walk is from Walkweb but we started from the Chedworth Roman villa.  The road up was very icy and the villa was closed at this time of year but it was nice walking in the snowy conditions.  We discovered a really good pub, the Seven Tuns at Chedworth, so it is worth considering starting from there.

 

 

 

Cant figure out how to merge my maps, but here's the route from the start to the pub.

Winchcombe towards Farmcote

There had been a fall of snow overnight so we decided to walk locally up onto the Cotswold escarpment from Winchcombe towards Farmcote Wood.  Little snow had settled and it was melting as we walked, we were lucky to catch it and the conditions were still and mild.  All the pubs in town were fully booked so we stopped at the Rising Sun on Cleeve Hill.

Painswick Beacon & Rococo Gardens

This walk started and ended at the Rococo Gardens in Painswick. The walk was courtesy of their website, see the link here The main reason for the trip was to see the snowdrops which were at their best.  The walk passes the Royal William pub at Cranham so we went back for lunch.

Half Way House, Kineton

This walk was started from a lay-by at Stumps Cross.  There are several good pubs close by but we ended up in the Half Way House.  They do a very decent Sunday roast.  There was frost on the ground as we walked but the sun was out.  A corn field of small birds provided an great display as the flocked swooped.
