Hiking

A beautiful section of this walk. Very steep in parts (-12% gradient) so make sure you are in a low gear 😁. And if you are lucky you will see deer crossing your path.

The steep descent (or climb!) through Breakheart Plantation is one of the highlights of this section of the Cotswold Way. Some superb trees.
