Leckhampton Hill is a popular viewpoint in this part of the Cotswolds, as is Crickley Hill, the starting point for this walk. Route finding is made easier by route markers (follow arrows with Red BACKGROUND - the foreground varies depending whether the path is a footpath or bridleway). But the signs let you down in places so it is a good idea to take the map.

 

Safety and Difficulty

Seven miles may be a lot for some people, but this is not a difficult walk. The steepest ascent is on a normal footpath for a distance of about a quarter of a mile.
