Cranham Circular Walk, Gloucestershire

I love the circular walks in Gloucestershire - if I am really lucky I even get back to the start! Yes Angie is on this walk too ... did I really have her so long?

This walk was lovely in that it was shaded for most of it, but there were a lot of hills and not all of the circular walk signposts were present - we detoured at least a mile at one point and had to go full circle to get back to the track ..... duh!

This is the link to the actual walk if anyone wants to do it in the future: Click here for the Cranham circular walk info sheet

Here are some pics I took on the walk:


This was the start of the walk - it was a sunny day and the shade looked so inviting:




Boo!




One of the ancient beech trees in the wood




Guess who found the water:










Views in and around the woods:






Views from the to pof Cooper's Hill (yes we got to the top). I was amazed how steep it was over the slope - it is where the legendary cheese rolling takes place every year - no way would you catch me launching myself over the edge!










Nibs ........ conserving energy lol:




Nibs has this delightful thing of slobbering when somewhere new ... you'd never guess would you?






It's a lonely road .....




...unless you have a dog to run alongside!

Wonderful, the bluebells mentioned in the link would be well worth seeing.
