Cleve Hill to Birdlip Day 3

We walked a total of 25km to the tiny village of Birdlip today. The Cotswolds Way took us along the escarpment surrounding the city of Cheltenham. The track today gave us the highest views of Cotswolds. We could almost see across to Wales and definitely the Malvern Mountains in the distance. The views were stunning.
We are starting to understand why the walk is so popular. I thought we’d be walking through little villages and farms with sheep everywhere but there is so much more. We found ourselves walking through woodlands of beech trees, past disused quarries, along stone walls and down narrow tracks that are lined with hawthorn hedges. Every turn of a corner finds you in a different environment. One thing for certain it’s a beautiful trail that is so good for the soul and the mind.Baca selengkapnya
