Overview

This moderately hilly walk passes through four National Trust commons with exceptional views over Woodchester and Golden Valleys. Starting from historic Minchinhampton we will walk through the village of Box then across Minchinhampton common skirting Pinfarthings and Amberley to Rodborough Common. The return is through Bownham and Besbury Commons via picturesque hamlets steeped in history from the wool industry.
