π₯Ύ Guided Walks near Stroud with the Cotswold Wardens this Autumn π₯Ύ
Get out and about and enjoy the great outdoors this Autumn with guided walks from the Cotwold Wardens!
There are several warden-led walks coming up within easy reach of Stroud. There is no need to book and there is no charge for joining the walks. However, there is a box for a voluntary contribution towards materials for our work on footpath maintenance. β€οΈ
βΉοΈ Walks start usually at 10.00am. & will return to the starting point. A packed lunch is advisable. Sadly, no dogs allowed, but dog walkers could find attractive self-guided walks on the website. Additional details are on the Cotswold National Landscape (formerly AONB) website.
