Shorter and Steadier 10. Kineton
This is the penultimate walk in 2024 of a series of shorter and steadier walks to introduce new walkers to the splendour of our glorious countryside and the sheer joy of walking in the Cotswolds. Shorter walks will be at a gentler pace.
They will also be ideal for families (though not pushchairs or dogs, sorry) and possibly anyone wanting to regain fitness after a health setback. Children must be kept under the supervision of a responsible adult at all times. This walk starts from a small car park on Critchford Lane and crosses a tributary of the Windrush before a gentle climb through open countryside, with great views, on the way to the Kineton village. The walk then crosses the Windrush twice before heading towards Guiting Wood and then back to the car park. Although the walk is in November most of the route is on good surfaces, though some places will be muddy or wet so waterproof boots/shoes are recommended. Photo: CNL
