Overview

At 13mls and 2500ft you may think this is not much of a hill walk, but remarkably steep ups and downs and the opportunity for some fine views swing it for me. I hope you agree.
Sadly the New Inn at Waterley Bottom seems to have gone for ever, but that brings new opportunities. By going on to Dursley we can visit the excellent Old Spot pub or the Bank Cafe
