The Old Crown Inn, Uley

This walk is over the hills of Cam long down and Uley bury and into Petty Helger's Tump puts me in touch with the old history of the people of the cotwold escarpment.  The landscape worked since the iron age is unique in my experience.

There's a car park at the bottom of peaked down which is a good place to start.  The pub in Uley, the Old Crown Inn, serves the local beer and a decent lunch.

Marcle Ridge

This walk was part of a day out to the Big Apple festival in Much Marcle.  The walk was found on the web here but our route involved a bit of additional getting lost.  All was much improved by a lunch in the Slip Tavern and a trip around the Westons Cider factory.

Stroud Five Valleys

After meaning to do this walk for a number of years, finally got down to Nailsworth for the Meningitis Trust Five Valleys Walk.  Was a lovely autumn day and the local support for was very good with tea and cake stops, even a beer tent at half way.  Stopped at the Old Fleece on the way back for a decent late Sunday lunch.

Hidcote

This walk starts from the car park of Hidcote Gardens, a National Trust property, and well worth a visit.  The walk was one of our own.

Cheltenham Circular Challenge

This walk is the first half of the Cheltenham Circular Challenge.  We've walked this many times in rain and shine, well worth doing for the views and well worth supporting the Rotary guys, maps on their site.  The WI cake stalls are always worth a visit.  You could do this walk any time but there's a free bus service on Challenge day.

Ashleworth

This walk started from the Red Lion at Wainlode. Parking is a bit limited unless you stop in the pub. The route follows the Severn Way south to Ashleworth then returns cross country. A tantalizing view of the pub from half way around, but no way to cross the river. Our plan was to visit the Boat Inn at Ashleworth that was running it's annual beer festival. Beautiful weather for sitting by the river. The route shown includes the drive to the pub.

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.

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.
