Overview

The walk is situated in an area between the M5 and Old Down. Starting from Alveston, we immediately cross the A38 to complete a loop on footpaths back to cross the A38 again at Rudgeway. We then head for Tockington and Olveston (lunch), before returning to Alveston by way of Old Down and Stroud Common
