For most of the walk from Cooper's Hill to Birdlip you are in woodland so views are restricted but at this time of the year with a little sunshine the woodland is magical.
We came out of the woods just before Berrow Wake. On past the Air Balloon roundabout and up to the cafe on Crickley Hill for lunch. Rain had been forecast for the afternoon but it wasn't as heavy as expected. We looped round past the Star College and up to Leckhampton Hill. A brief visit to the old area of quarrying and the chimney. Then back over Hartley Hill to Seven Springs.
