Rather than the road to Withington we took a footpath east at Casey Compton along the river and then through woods to a small Lane to the village, stopping at the Mill for lunch.
5.14 km+65 m-64 m1h 40Moderate Departure from Coberley (Gloucestershire)
A circular walk through two beautiful Cotswold villages past an Alpaca herd or two. Look out for more animals in the parkland near Cowley and head over the hill and down through the valley of sheep. Beautiful in May when the hawthorn is in flower. If you are lucky you'll spot orchids on the downs too.
9.42 km+73 m-64 m2h 55Easy Departure from Bibury (Gloucestershire)
This circular walk starts in Bibury, a traditional rural village with a lovely church you will discover. Then, you will walk along quiet River Coln before you go back to the village using paths in copses and fields.
