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 11th August 2026 - Dixton Hill

It had been intended to do a 7 mile walk but because of the forecast temperatures it was decided to do only 5 miles. From the small car park at the top of Bushcombe Lane, through Bushcombe Wood to pick up the Winchcombe Way and down near Gotherington Halt. Then up to Dixton Hill, through Far Stanley and up again beside the Prescott Hill climb. Finally past Wickfields Farm and back

 

The photos show just how burned up and brown our coutryside has become after the prolonged drought and high temperatures.
