The Royal George, Birdlip

This is our second attempt at the walk, having been thwarted by the Great Western railway last week.  Starting and finishing at The Royal George Hotel in Birdlip, we had a very pleasant walk, apart from a large heard of curious bulls that came to see us in the last field.  The route takes in the Roman villa and Witcombe reservoir.

Reservoir & Lineover Wood

This walk starts at the (now closed) Reservoir Inn on the the A40 and goes around Lineover Wood and Dowdeswell Reservoir.  The pub is now closed but the car park is open.  We took the route of the Cheltenham Circular Challenge up the hill and down through the estate.  I'd recommend seeing the broad leafed limes.  We found wild raspberry and ripe cherries on our route.

The Edgemoor Inn, Edge

Today's walk was from the Edgemoor Inn, up to the map on Haresfield Beacon. The way back was something new as we found a redirected path that wasn't there last year. All a bit of a rush as the pub now stops doing food at 8.30 but that's fine. We sat out with the dogs which is no hardship as it was sunny and the view is the main reason to go there.
