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.

Sunday 15th March - Leckhampton Hill

Walking with the Cleeve Ramblers from Leckhampton Hill. Our route took us through Coberley, Cowley and Coldwell Bottom where we joined the Gloucestershire Way This took the huge roadworks which are part of the 'missing link'.  This will join the dual carriageway at Birdlip to the dual carriageway on the A417.  Bright and sunny at the begining but that turned to rain and cloud at the end of the walk. 7.5  miles and 800 feet ascent.

Sprintime!



Past the inquisitive alpacas

The sawn of branch leaves an interesting structure

The bridge being constructed will take the Gloucestershire Way over the new road. A 35 metre wide green bridge which will also allow wild life to cross the road.






 

 
The final part of the walk on newly constructed path. So new it hasn't yet been opened!
