Cirencester Ramblers

18 walkers completed a 6 mile walk on the Coleshill Estate near Faringdon. We set off from the National Trust Car Park at the model Victorian Farm walking through fields before climbing up to Badbury Woods. We then descended to Great Coxwell Barn where we stopped for a break. It was Oxford Arts week and we resisted cake at Great Coxwell Village Hall. We returned to the start through the parkland. Good weather provided good views both to the North over Oxfordshire and South over Wiltshire to The Ridgeway.
