We follow the Cotswold Way, contouring through beech woodlands then ascend onto Selsley Common. Descending through vineyards into Woodchester Park, we pass by the magnificent Woodchester Mansion. Gradual climb back to Coaley Peak. Please bring a packed lunch.

Exceptional views from Coaley Peak and Selsey Common (weather permitting!). Image courtesy of Patrick Williams.
