09:00 2 Boot Nibley Knoll and Stinchcombe Hills – on the Cotswold Way (Joint Walk)

Event Date: Sun 16 February 2025
Event Time: 09:00

This walk is in the past.

Starting in the market town of Wotton-under-Edge, we will follow the Cotswold Way through woodland, uphill to Nibley Knoll with great views of the Gloucestershire countryside and River Severn on a clear day. You can even climb the 120ish steps up the spiral staircase to the top of the Tyndale Monument! We will continue on to Stinchcombe Hill for another amazing viewpoint before returning on lower ground through fields and farmland.

Bring warm layers as it can get breezy high up, and shoes with a good grip for the muddy and steep sections. You may wish to bring sticks for the steep sections.

There is free parking by Wotton Civic Centre (near the Shell garage) off Gloucester Street on the B4060. Postcode: GL12 7DF. Please car share if possible.

Bring packed lunch. Pub to finish.

How do I join the walk?

Unless stated on the walk page, there is no need to sign up to join a walk. You’re very welcome to try out 1 or 2 walks before you join, but we do insist that after that you join the Brunel Walking Group.

On many walks you can just turn up at the meeting point where we will share lifts to the start of the walk. It’s OK if you don’t drive – we normally have enough drivers who are able to give lifts. Some walks you will need to make your way to walk start or you can post on our facebook group to ask if you can share a lift there. 

If sharing lifts passengers are expected to contribute towards petrol costs. Please bring coins or be prepared to make a bank transfer. As a guide, 30p/mile shared by everyone in the car. 

How do I know what to bring? And am I fit enough?

We provide a full recommended kit list here.  Please do bring water, a rainproof jacket, walking trousers (or similar) and walking shoes/boots – avoid jeans and trainers.

Walks are graded as either 1 boot, 2 boot or 3 boot.  Read more about choosing the right walk for your fitness level here,
