We are the South Cotswold Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Leaving Great Witcombe along the old road, we ascend alongside the current road heading up towards the Air Balloon Roundabout with views of the major roadworks. We branch off through Cold Slad and traverse Crickley Hill before descending more steeply down Greenway Lane into Little Shurdington and Bentham on our return. It's a steady climb on sealed paths and roads up onto Crickley Hill. Traversing Crickley Hill on semi challenging lesser used paths before a steep descent down Greenway Lane which may be muddy and slippery. The remainder of the walk is flat and easy walking. Two short stops for coffee/snacks. Lunch available after the walk at the Twelve Bells PH if required.
Total ascent on this walk is 875 feet and the hills, up and down will be taken at a pace to suit all, however I would suggest that walkers should be reasonably sure footed for this walk.
Local walk grade - moderate pace, terrain 2 hilly and level mix.
