Setting off at an earlier 9.30 am was a good plan for Sunday’s 10-mile walk from Dymock. It was certainly worth it, with plenty of woodland, wonderful churches and the surprise of a tea shop. At times it felt a little like walking in southern France – Tuscany even –...
After a day of sweltering heat, it was well worth the effort to head off to Buckland, south of Broadway, for a five-mile evening walk. After the initial climb, we joined the Cotswold Way and were rewarded with the occasional breeze. A swift pint after the descent to...

Brilliant sunny weather for this popular route for our group. Chocolate-box cottages galore on this super springtime walk starting at lovely Elmley Castle. An energetic 10-miler with some good climbs and a great pace. Comberton is a sight to behold with all the...
