General:- If you have ever wondered where the Cotswolds end you will find the answer on this ST 8933 walk. As you climb up from the river at Waypoint 9 you begin to see the landscape has flatten into agricultural fields and the wooded valleys so typical of the Cotswolds. For me, the gem of this walk is Easton Grey. It's not one of those popular tourist villages and you come upon it almost by accident, as if you have discovered some secret haven that is yours to treasure. Easton Grey House stands in perfect isolation above the river, barely covered by scattered trees. Oh how I dream to look back into the valley from one of its windows as Lord of the Manor. Well, that's what it does for me! The sections between Waypoints 15 & 17 have few landmarks of note so if you have a compass take it with you to ease navigation. Just set it to the bearings of 285 and 297 as showin the table, line up the arrows as shown on the NAVIGATION page and off you go. (GPS length 7.05 miles). |
