The walk starts near Cranham School and enters the wood, crossing Gladys’ Leap and crossing fields before entering Saltridge Wood where there are stunning views across the Painswick Valley. We then cross Sheepscombe Common where there are more wonderful views before we return to the woods and head to the Ebworth Centre (where toilets are available).
