Overview

**This walk is part of the Bradford-on-Avon Getaway which is fully booked**

An easy 5 mile walk through the pretty Cotswold village of Castle Coombe, passing 15th century Cotswold stone cottages with steep gabled roofs surrounding a turreted church, a stone-canopied market cross, a fast flowing stream in the main street leading to an ancient packhorse bridge and a perfectly picturesque river. From the village we continue winding through the valley alongside the river, with fields of wild garlic, returning along country lanes back to the start.
