Tortworth to Dursley via the oldest Chestnut tree in England, Tyndale Monument, Waterley Bottom and Breakheart Quarry.

The route starts in Tortworth and passes through the arboretum before visiting Tortworth Church, next to which is a sweet chestnut tree, reputed to be the oldest in England. We cross the Little Avon River and head north-east through farmland along less frequently walked paths toward North Nibley. As it approaches the village, the path climbs up the Cotswold Escarpment. On a hill beyond North Nibley, stands the prominent Tyndale Monument that celebrates the first translator of the bible into English. The monument is visible for miles around and gives views to the west over the Berkeley Vale and River Severn and, on a good day, the Black Mountains. The monument should be open for anyone who wishes to climb the 120 steps to the top.

The return to Dursley continues down to the picturesque Cotswold valley of Waterley Bottom and then steeply upwards to Breakheart Quarry where limestone was quarried and Jurassic fossils can be found.
