Itinerary
Sunday After a morning pick up we travel to the maritime city of Bristol. Here you can enjoy any of the many attractions, stroll along the river or follow the self-guided Banksy walking tour. Later in the afternoon we make our way to the Puckrup Hall Hotel.
Monday Today’s beautiful walk begins in Snowshill and leads us through two of the most picturesque villages of the Cotswolds, Stanton and Cotswold Edge. Our six miles of ramble takes us over hilltops, down valleys and through shaded woodlands. We will break our walk to take lunch in a local pub.
Tuesday Our coach will take us to the pretty village of Colwall where we begin our seven mile slightly more challenging walk. Our scenic route will take in glorious views of the Malvern peaks, an Iron Age fort, ancient churches and attractive manor houses. The hotel will provide a packed lunch to enjoy en-route.
Wednesday We check out of our hotel and visit the cathedral city of Hereford. There will be time to explore this historic riverside location and take an early lunch before we re-join our coach and cross the Severn Bridge to make the journey home to Cornwall.
