Overview

A delightful walk taking in land that until recent decades was all in South Gloucester, now our walk passes from one county to the other. From Oldbury Court car park we pass long-gone mills, WW11 gunnery sites, many forgotten hospitals, monuments, Quaker settlements, historical oddities and memories of the area's influence on America and America's later occupation of the area.

Coffee & lunch stops.
