You can fit this walk into an afternoon
or stretch it out and take the children for a picnic (it's
good for kite flying on windy days). In the early stages the
path ascends a steep grassy slope but the rest of the walk
is easy and pleasant. Running along the edge of the Cotswolds,
this walk is all about views.

Safety and Difficulty
Most of this walk is easy, but the first climb
may be difficult for some. There are no dangerous stages. Wear
non-slippery shoes to cope with the grassy slopes. |
