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 8th July 2025 Bledington

From Bledington, an easy walk just under 7 mile and a relatively low ascent of 350 feet. At the start of the latest heatwave - slowly getting hotter as we walked. Through Nether Westcote and Foxholes. Followed by coffee and lunch at the community shop in Bledington.


At the start - St Leonards Church, Bledington 

Into Idbury for a coffee stop


St Nicholas Church, Idbury



Down to the River Evenlode at the end of the walk although there was very little water running
