This work presents a collection of twenty circular walks around the Cotswolds, including routes near Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bath, Chippenham and Swindon. It features sketch maps and photographs.
If you enjoy walking and visiting country pubs this book should appeal. All the inns are in the area close to Bristol and Bath and are surrounded by excellent walking country. Every walk begins and ends at a particular pub. They vary in length from 2 to 7 miles and each route is described in detail with an accompanying sketch map. There are quiet strolls through woodland and over fields, in secluded river valleys and by lakes, and ascents to spots with magnificent views. You can walk beside the Severn Estuary, climb above Cheddar Gorge, and visit picturesque villages such as Wiltshire's Lacock, Somerset's Nunney, and Litton in the Mendip Hills. There are also walks from the interesting towns of Wotton, on the edge of the Cotswolds; from Chew Magna; and from Clevedon, with its Victorian pier. All thirty pubs are described in full, with a photograph, and details given include their history and character, how to get there, parking facilities, speciality menus and their range of ales.
