Opis

Meandering in Gloucestershire contains ten easy to follow walks with access to start and clear walking pattern to follow. There are photos of areas you visit, there are woods, green lanes, tracks and quiet country lanes to walk down through villages and hamlets. Gloucestershire is the land of the Cotswolds with its open valleys. When high up on the hills the meadows look like a work of art, with its fields looking like a fine tapestry worked on the back drop of green fields. There is the sweet scent of wild flowers lingering in air and the only sounds are from bumble bees and the gentle trill of the song birds. The colourful crops are like the painters palate with every colour you can think of all around you giving a warm glow as you stroll through the country side. One of the walks is in Slad which forms part of the Golden Valleys along with Cam, Nailworth, Painswick and Chalford with Stroud as the industrial centre of the Cotswolds. Laurie Lee poet and author came from Slad with is most famous book being Cider with Rosie. Laurie Lee said about the area. Greener and more decently lush than is decent to the general herbaceous smugness of the English country side.
