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 3rd November 2026 - Nottingham Hill

A full version of this walk after the shortened version in August due to the hot weather. Meeting in Bushcombe Lane. Initially descending towards Woodmancote then back up to the main road and on to Rushbury House. To Prescott, Far Stanley and Gotherington then the very steep climb back up to Nottingham Hill. Just under 8 miles with 1200 feet of ascent on a bright sunny morning


Through Longford Farm with the old abandoned vehicles
