"Several centuries of church-building can be seen around Dumbleton Hill."
Walk directions
Walk west, along the road out of the village, to pass under some power lines. Just after these, take the footpath on the left. Pass through a gate, maintaining this line for a further 600yds (549m).
Pass through a gate and turn left away from Mill Farm (view the waterwheel first), to cross the River Isbourne at a bridge.

In about 235yds (215m), turn left to walk along the right-hand field edge. Within 160yds (146m) turn right.

About the area
Gloucestershire is home to a variety of landscapes, including the Cotswolds, a region of gentle hills, valleys and gem-like villages that roll through the county. To their west is the Severn Plain, watered by Britain’s longest river and characterised by orchards and farms marked out by hedgerows that blaze with mayflower in the spring; beyond the Severn are the Forest of Dean and the Wye Valley.
