A Short Walk to the top of the Olimpick Hill

Route description

The walk passes Willersey church to cross fields over to Weston-sub-Edge, before turning east through The Lynches wood and up to panoramic top of Dover’s Hill, site of The Olimpick Games. There, on a good day, you can see counties far to the west and north of Gloucestershire. The route back passes the medieval Saintbury church on return to Willersey. The route has many more than a dozen stiles and with an overall ascent of 800 feet, it becomes a strenuous walk and a slightly longer walk time.

Bring drinks and a packed lunch.
