This five mile circuit has a steep incline up Timbercombe Lane on the 'Cheltenham Circular' to start, with reward of fine views before descending to track the River Chelt. We return through parkland in Charlton Kings to savour the delights at the 'Royal' pub which has a lovely garden!

A shortish, figure of 8, evening walk with the deliberate intention of stopping off at the pub for food/beer at the end - this level pre-pub amble takes in canals towpaths (both working and disused canals) and the banks of the mighty River Severn before enjoying the delights of this historic pub. No hills

Today's walk goes through deep, wooded valleys and country houses. Walking first through Ozleworth Park (Seen on BBCs 'Tess of the D'urbervilles') to Ozleworth Bottom following the stream, we climb to Lasborough Park and the tiny Lasborough Church (which featured in the TV series Lark Rise to Candleford). Then into the valley of Marlees Brook.
Fancy an evening of boogie woogie and a picnic? The Tuckwell outdoor theatre is a perfect setting to bring your camping chair, nibbles and wine/beer to listen to Peter Gill and his band entertain you with boogie woogie classics
