My Country Walks



Welcome to my new blog following my move to the Cotswolds in early 2018.

Previously living on the edge of Dartmoor I shared details of my walks on Dartmoor on my previous blog My Dartmoor Walks. As I explore this new area I will share details of the routes here.

Wednesday 5th February 2020 - Cotswold Way 10 - Hailes to Broadway


The penultimate leg of the Cotswold Way from Hailes to Broadway. Perfect weather for the walk - almost spring like with sunshine and no wind.

Starting by the little church at Hailes, up the track towards Farmcote and then across to the Beckbury Monument. On to Stumps Cross and steeply down to Stanway. Through the fields to Stanton with a stop for lunch. Very steeply up to Shenberrow Hill and then along the top of the escarpment before dropping gently down to Broadway

10.4 miles and 1500 feet of ascent.

I left my camera behind so todays photos were taken with my phone.

An old dew pond with four wall intersecting in the middle so that all four land users could let the cattle drink water.
