Starting in Upper Castle Combe, this walk will feature the village of Yatton Keynell, West Yatton Down, a section of the Macmillan Way and of course the Main Attraction of Castle Combe – a village within the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and has been described as the prettiest village in England. Will have time to stop here and explore at leisure.

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.
