Bourton-on-the-Water
Our view
Facing the road, leave the car park by turning right and following the broad path signposted to the village. Cut between stone walls to emerge in the centre of Bourton-on-the-Water. Cross the stone bridge over the River Windrush, turn right to The Old Manse Hotel, then immediately left, passing the Duke of Wellington pub. Shortly the road divides; take the path on the right (the Windrush Way) and follow the twisting path to a meadow. Take the riverside path, crossing the river at one point to reach the road.
Turn left and walk to the junction with the A429. Cross over the A429 and continue on the Windrush Way, keeping to the right of the river. Pass through meadows to a gate, and in the next field keep to its left boundary, all the way to a gate beside trees in the corner. Follow the path along a brief stretch of the former Cheltenham–Chipping Norton railway, and when it forks, keep right on the bridleway.
