Hi Stew,
Not an avid walker, but a couple of good spots to suggest:
In Wickwar - Lower Woods:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=gl12+8lp&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=68.558336,188.4375&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Wotton-under-Edge,+Gloucestershire+GL12+8LP,+United+Kingdom&ll=51.593046,-2.395929&spn=0.001683,0.005751&t=h&z=19
In Wotton - to Nibley Monument:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=51.59304,-2.395951&daddr=Wotton-under-Edge,+Gloucestershire+GL12+8LP,+UK&hl=en&geocode=%3BCcviFyTeBWUdFfYxEwMdLW7b_ylBQ3QWup5xSDG0uiS19r1yzg&mra=mi&mrsp=0&sz=19&sll=51.593046,-2.395929&sspn=0.001683,0.005751&ie=UTF8&ll=51.644993,-2.356229&spn=0.001681,0.005751&t=k&z=19
(Park in the lay-by here).
The latter is a great walk in the Summer, can take a picnic to eat near the monument, and for a small donation you can explore the top of the tower with some amazing views.
Pat Trull (our Parish Councilor) also arranges walks around the area a few times a year, details will be posted on this site. |

There are many lovely walks around Wickwar. There is an easy access trail to get you started. I can point you in the right 'direction'!!
Please contact me Pat Trull - Parish Clerk (Wickwar PC) 01454 299120 or trull@btinternet.com
I will put you in touch with a local walking club. The Parish Council generally undertake a monthly footpaths walk. |

I see from the events calender that there is a village walk planned for Sunday 18th July. I have walked many of the footpaths around the village in the past 18 months and am always keen to find new routes to explore. Are these walks dog friendly. I ask because my experience is that not all organised walks are and my spaniel is keen to expand his rabbit census of the area. |

OK, didn't think the question was that difficult. Get back to me when you can. |

South Glos Council publish a pamphlet with a map of Public Rights of Way in the area, although it does contain at least one error regarding Bridleways
There is a Bridleway shown through the Parish Church, this does not exist and has been pointed out to the Footpaths Officer and the section head as far back as 2002
Horse riders should contact the vicar and ask permission to ride through the area
To obtain a copy email them at rightsofway@southglos.gov.uk
The area Footpath Officer was Ms Anita Walker last time I spoke to them |
