We will take a coach from Dursley Bus Station to Minchinhampton
A walk through some glorious Cotswold villages and countryside with typical honey coloured limestone cottages perched on slopes and along valleys. The route starts east of the village of Minchinhampton and drops to the Nailsworth Valley (one of the five valleys of Stroud) where we will walk through the lovely trout ponds of Ruskin Mill. Then up and through the hamlets of Rockness and Shortwood above Nailsworth and along Miry Brook and the Nympsfield valley. From there the route continues toward Coaley Peak and joins the Cotswold Way to walk over Uley Bury and Cam Longdown, and back to Dursley past Chestal House. It is a hilly walk but well worth it for the views, particularly if the weather cooperates.
