Walking in the Cotswolds

North Cotswold Branch of the Campaign for Real Ale

The Cotswolds is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), designated as such in 1966. The name derives from a combination of “Cots”, which were stone sheep shelters, and “wold” which were rolling hills. Not surprisingly the area is a favourite with walkers, and a pub selling real ale is a welcome sight during or after a walk. Our branch organises walks that take in both the beauty of the countryside and the delights of a good pint of real ale. The walks can be arranged on the day to cater for all levels of fitness and desired walking pace. We normally end the walk with a lunch time meal at the pub concerned. The walks take place about every one or two months during the year, with a break when Summer is at its busiest. See our Branch Diary for details. (Click on Diary above) New participants are always very welcome. Walks completed so far:

Our Branch Chairman normally organises these walks, but Martin Jones also helps out, especially when walks are in the Moreton area. If you have a favourite walk that you think would be interesting to CAMRA members, please contact our Branch Chairman. Click on Contacts above. Note that when we re-visit a pub (denoted by 2^nd etc) we take a different walking route each time. The reports for walks 1 to 19 are no longer available on this web site in order to release space for more recent items. However those reports are stored in a safe place in case they are needed for any future project..
