Ford & Slaughterford

PICTURE


Weir and pool near Ford

Highlights of this walk

  • a Cotswold trout-stream
  • rolling hills and woodland
  • wild flowers
  • memories of Alfred the Great
Slaughterford has a bloodthirsty sounding name and it had its dark times in the days of King Alfred and again under Cromwell; but it is a pretty village at the central point in a walk through beautiful scenery.

Safety and Difficulty

By most standards this is an easy walk, but it has sections that can be muddy and it is wise to wear boots or good walking shoes.
