Wednesday 5th June 2019 Cotwold Way - Cold Ashton to Little Sodbury

The second leg of the Cotswold Way starting at Cold Ashton. The route goes through Dryham Wood, past Dryham Park, around the edge of Hinton Hill, across the M4 to Tomarton. On through Dodington Park, Old Sodbury and over the hill fort at Little Sodbury.

Perfect walking weather with clear long distance views, not too hot and gentle breeze.
