Join us for a 6.5-mile circular moderate walk, starting from Cranham Village. The route takes us through different areas of woodland, displaying the colourful signs of autumn. The walk starts at the edge of Cranham Common and heads up Saltridge Hill through Saltridge Woods. Mid-way is the village of Sheepscombe, with views across Painswick Valley (weather permitting). Climbing out of Sheepscombe, we walk through Beech Woods National Nature Reserve, which includes some of the best examples of beechwoods in Europe and then onwards through Workman’s Wood. The walks ends in the village of Cranham home to Gustav Holst during which time he wrote the music for the carol, in the Bleak Mid-Winter. The house is now called ‘Midwinter Cottage’ and is opposite the 17th Century village pub, The Black Horse Inn, with the option to have a drink at the end of the walk. Please note that some parts of the walk will be muddy and hilly so please come prepared. To secure your place, please join the Waiting List, and pay £2.50 walk fee to Terry Jones Sort Code: 11-02-47 Account No’ 11755366. You will then be moved across to the Going List.
Please park in the car park located at the edge of Cranham Common, accessed by driving past the Black Horse Pub in Cranham.
Looking forward to you joining us on a relatively short but scenic hike.
