Overview

Starting in the village of Eastleach we follow the river north west along the valley and up to Macaroni Downs and then join the newly created permissive paths on Eastleach Downs Farm. We will stop for lunch at the farm's visitors hut. This facility not only has views and the opportunity to purchase organic products but also a toilet. I guess it may be cold so I will ask for the wood burning stove to be lit. We then return to Eastleach along the east side of the River Leach.  Some slopes and tree roots. 2 stops.
