Starting from Stanton and joing the Winchcombe Way to Laverton. Across to Buckland, then steeply up to join the Cotswold Way by Top Farm. Down to Bury End with a coffee stop at West End next to the impressive new flood defence area. Back on the Cotswold Way and steeply up again to the junction with the Winchcombe Way. Down through Lidcombe Wood to Stanway and finally back to Stanton.
A lovely bright sunny morning but with a cool breeze
About 10 miles with 1500 feet of ascent.
Church of St Michael Stanton
Buckland Hotel and Church of St Michael .
On the Cotswold Way near Top Farm and Broadway Tower in the distance
Looking down on Broadway
St Eadburgha's Church across the fields in Broadway
Looking down on the large flood defence area
Parks Farm at the top of Lidcombe Wood
Looking across towards Dumbleton Hill with the Malvern Hills just visible in the distance
Snowdrops just inside the gardens at Stanway House. Always a sign that spring is coming
Finishing the walk in Stanton
