Over the Hill
The walk loosely follows the Cotswold Way Loop through Stanley Woods onto Selsley Common, before descending to restored parts of the Stroudwater Canal. We return via the canal towpath. Detours along the way take in Woodchester, Dudbridge and the vineyards at Doverow. Picnic lunch stop at Selsley.
The walk will pass through beechwoods and allow enjoyment of the open views from Selsley Common over the Stroud District. It will also show remnants of industrial heritage from the wool trade as well as important sites of Bronze age and Roman times.
