  • Walking the Cotswold Way with Cotswold Voluntary Wardens
    Walking the Cotswold Way with Cotswold Voluntary Wardens Included in the many guided walks provided by the Cotswold Voluntary Wardens are two along the 102 mile Cotswold Way. Both of these annual walks are in monthly stages commencing in May and running through to February. These walks include transport to and from the start point. The northbound walk from Bath to Chipping Campden is held on the first Wednesday of each month and southbound walk from Chipping Campden to Bath is on the first Saturday of each month. For further details please see: http://www.escapetothecotswolds.org.uk/walking/guided-walks/ Recently I completed the southbound walk with around twenty other walkers that made up the 2016-17 group. Although as a Cotswold Voluntary Warden I was familiar with the southern section of the route I was keen to complete the whole of the Cotswold Way and explore, with our knowledgeable wardens, unfamiliar sections of the Cotswold Way. Courtesy of National Trails Set out below are some of my memories from our journey south from Chipping Campden. Stage 1 – Chipping Campden to Stanton in Gloucestershire. (10 miles) A lovely warm May day, which was ideal for walking and a chance to meet our new companions for the next ten monthly meetings. Leaving the lovely market town of Chipping Campden it is a steady climb to Dovers Hill and then onto Broadway Tower, both locations provide the first of many views we will see across the Severn Vale. Broadway is just one of the picturesque villages that we saw on our journey.

  • Group Newsletter June 2019
    South Cotswold Ramblers’ Group Newsletter - June 2019 Published each year in February, June and October. We look forward to hearing from you with stories, opinions, photos, poetry, art, funny tales, cartoons, appeals, you name it. This edition was edited by Sally 01453 872729, email: [email protected] CHAIRMAN’S REPORT Another Chair’s report. What’s it to be this time? Forget the inspirational diatribes or the doom and gloom. I think just a few thank yous. Last week I was lined up to do a Thursday evening walk and a 12 mile Saturday walk. Unfortunately, at the last minute I couldn’t do either. So thanks to Tim who stepped in on Thursday and to Jill and Sue who just happened to have a walk up their sleeves to replace my Saturday walk. We do get the occasional emergency and it’s nice to find that there are people in South Cots who are willing to step in and help out. Don’t leave it to the same people to step in every time. Thanks as always to Mike and his team of collectors and collators for putting together the latest walks programme. Fifty four walks, plenty of variety and something to suit everybody. We often seem to struggle to find leaders for the last couple of walks. It would be nice if they could be snapped up quickly. Are there more potential Monday walks leaders out there? We could possibly think of putting on more walks but we would need to be sure that we could obtain leaders.

The international city of Bristol with its exciting Harbour side development, and the graceful curves of Bath’s regency crescents offer chic shopping, theatres, and first class 6 restaurants and bars. The Mall at Cribbs Causeway and the new Cabot Circus in Bristol offer spectacular shopping experiences. The Wye Valley and Forest of Dean provide ideal territory for quiet rambles and picnics, as do the Severn Way and the Cotswold Way which mark the west and east boundaries of this area.
