Cirencester Ramblers

On a perfect summer day 12 members set off from Condicote,  as we passed the village green an old-fashioned fete had been set up.  We thought that it would be in full swing when we returned but it turned out that it was a film set for the Father Brown Series.   Passing on through scarecrows and bunting we followed the Gloucestershire way before turning off through woodland and then took a coffee break at Beechy Bank.  Then followed an uphill walk - through woodland to Bourton Downs where we had some lovely views.  We ate lunch on some very handy logs and a bank before walking along a lovely green valley.   At the beautiful Hinchwick Manor we walked back to Condicote on a quiet and scenic road.
