Details of the walk:

This walk is the western loop of the Figure of Eight Cotswold Gateway walk. If you are up for an all day challenge, why not sign up also for Walk 16 – Eastern Loop in the morning to complete the entire Figure of Eight?

From the Market Place, we will ascend Stinchcombe Hill, take in the magnificent views around the edge of the hill and descend to Stinchcombe Church.

We follow the side of the valley, running parallel with the M5 before snaking our way back to Upthorpe. Finally we cross Cam Meadows to St Georges Church and make our way back to Dursley.

Please note the following information for this walk:
  • Please bring drinks and refreshments
