Windrush Valley --- EasEasEastEas ttt 2018 Edition Copyright © 2018 by RR Gordon RR Gordon is the author of the best-selling Gull Rock No 1 on the Amazon Mystery Series bestseller list - see inside back cover for details Introduction When I put these walks together, I’m looking for a good part of the walk to go through the pathways and lanes of a village, but also for part to be through the countryside with a bit of up and down. I aim for an hour or so – which justifies having a pudding at the pub! This booklet covers the fantastic eastern stretch of the River WindrushWindrush, before it heads into Witney and then into Old Father Thames. The villages featured in the walks have very interesting stories – just take a look at Asthall – and they all have proper country pubs which offer great food and beer. I’d like to say that this was all part of some clever plan, but they were just sitting there right in front of my nose! Each walk has been hand-crafted by me, my wife Nicky and our dog Daisy. Our combined objectives were: - A nice villagevillage: there are so many stunningly beautiful villages in the Cotswolds and we’ve tried to include some of their lanes and walkways, especially in the Naunton walk - Circular walkswalks: we’ve tried to come up with circular (ish) walks, but there might be some interesting side paths which we’ve suggested and sometimes these require returning by the same route.
