This walk is in the past.
A long steep (in places) climb of just over 200m takes us up to Landsdown ridge to discover some history of the hill, including the battle fought in 1643. After a triumphant walk we will repair to the Swan Pub at Swineford.

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.
