This walk is in the past.
This walk commences at Toghill, with sweeping views below, before descending down into the village of Doynton. From here we will take the Monarch's Way to Pucklechurch, subsequently walking through Hinton up to Hinton Hill, with further views. We will pass through the picturesque village of Dyrham and skirt around the National Trust's 17th century Dyrham Park and estate (with a sneaky peak at the house and rear formal gardens en route). We will take the Cotswold Way from here to Cold Ashton, returning to Toghill.
An undulating walk with a couple of short climbs. Terrain includes fields, tracks, paths and roads.

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.
