Dursley Walking Festival Event 10 - Linear Walk Hawkesbury Upton - Dursley
Join us for a scenic walk from Hawkesbury Upton to Dursley on Friday October 3, at 9:15 AM. We will take the coach from Dursley Bus Station and then walk back through the beautiful Cotswold countryside. It will be rough under-foot, and muddy if it has rained, so please come prepared with comfortable footwear and clothing, as well as drinks, lunch and snacks. Lace up your boots and get ready for a day of outdoor fun!
Starting at the Somerset Monument near the village of Hawkesbury Upton, we will follow the Cotswold Way north along the edge of the Cotswolds escarpment. After a couple of descents and an ascent we will pass through the charming town of Wotton-Under-Edge. We then ascend again and proceed past the Tyndale Monument, before dropping down through the village of North Nibley prior to our final climb up to Stinchcombe Hill Golf Club and then down to Dursley town centre. Look out for fabulous views across the Severn Vale.

Free parking is available in Dursley for up to 24 hours at the Council run May Lane and Long Street car parks. The May Lane car park is the most convenient to catch the bus for the linear walks. However, these two car parks are often full during weekdays. There is parking at Sainsburys, in Castle Street, for a maximum of 2 hours, enforced with ANPR cameras. This can be extended for £2.45 using the Just Park website or on your phone when you visit - this allows you to park all day (to be confirmed when you book). Parking may also be possible on side streets close to the town centre but you will need to allow plenty of time to search for these spaces.
