### About the Walk

Join us for a 7.75-mile circular walk through the stunning Cotswold countryside, starting in the picturesque village of Guiting Power.

We begin with a gentle uphill stretch through Guiting Wood (nothing too strenuous!).
The route then opens up to rolling hills with fantastic views.
We'll finish back in Guiting Power around 1:30 PM, where we can enjoy a well-earned drink at The Hollow Bottom pub.

### Essential Info

🥾 Terrain: Mostly on established paths and some quiet roads. The wooded area can be muddy, so walking boots recommended.
⚠️ Hazards: One busy(ish) road crossing, and some tree roots in the woodland section.
🥤 Bring: Water/snacks as needed.
