Initially a walk through the Tewkesbury Battlefield area starting in the 'Bloody Meadow'. This is a preserved area where you can explore the landscape and the events of 4th May 1471 when King Edward IV's Yorkist forces defeated the Lancastrians. This was a major turning point in the Wars of the Roses.

Tuesday 15th July 2025 - Tewkesbury
Tuesday 8th July 2025 Bledington
From Bledington, an easy walk just under 7 mile and a relatively low ascent of 350 feet. At the start of the latest heatwave - slowly getting hotter as we walked. Through Nether Westcote and Foxholes. Followed by coffee and lunch at the community shop in Bledington.
Tuesday 24th June 2025 Shipston-on-Stour
Always good to start a walk from a place I've never been to before Shipston-on-Stour in the north Cotswolds. An eight mile walk in beautiful rolling Cotswolds. Through Willington, Burmington and Todenham as the day slowly got hotter and hotter!
It's that time of the year.
Wednesday 18th June 2025 - Elmley Castle
An easier walk today from Elmley Castle with the Winchcombe Probus group - goiing up the side of Bredon Hill and through Ashton and Kersoe. 4 miles on a very hot morning.
Tuesday 17th May 2025 - Stanton
A figure of 8 walk to Manor Farm, St Eadburgha's church Broadway, alnong the Cotswold Way and returning through Stanway. Just under 11 miles with 1500 feet ascent. Very hot at the end!
