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.

Tuesday 24th November 2021 Diamond Way

The penultimate leg of the Diamond Way from Farmington to Church Westcote going through Clapton-on-th-Hill, the south east edge of Bourton-on-the-Water, Wyck Rissington and Icomb. About 11 miles with 1100 feet of ascent.  A cold dry and overcast day.

The redunant gravel pits on the south east edge of Bourton-on-the-Water. Landscaped and filled with fish in the 1970's they are now beautifully embedded in the landscape. The Diamond Way follows these for some distance.
