Gloucestershire & Forest of Dean Walks

by: John Abbott
This book describes ten walks in glorious Gloucestershire. It covers an area south west of the M50 and M5, from Tewkesbury to Ruardean. The theme is history; village churches in particular with, where necessary, a description of the main features. Other places of interest to walker and visitor alike are also mentioned, for example Tewkesbury's Abbey and alleys, the Cathedral, Beatrix Potter Museum and docks in Gloucester.
A sketch map is included with each walk, though these are no substitute for the OS maps of the area. Many of the walks include long and short options and range from easy to quite demanding; an easy mile at Ashleworth, up to ten miles around Newent and Upleadon; enough, hopefully, to satisfy most people.
The walk locations are: Tewkesbury and Deerhurst; Forthampton and Chaceley; Staunton and Tirley; Pauntley and Redmarley; Ashleworth and Hasfield; Gloucester; Newent and Upleadon; Churcham and Bulley; Mitcheldean and Abenhall; Ruardean.
