Minchinhampton to Chavenage 9.5 miles circular

Join us for this classic Minchinhampton to Chavenage Cotswolds route which is a moderate circular walk with a good mix of valley streams, steady climbs, and expansive estate views. This is a really lovely walk through the hamlet of Box and takes in the edge of Nailsworth, dipping into quiet, hidden valleys with bubbling streams, climbing into open farm fields, across green spaces and open countryside near Chavenage and then back through the charming village of Avening, with gorgeous distant views across the private Gatcombe Park Estate.
