2 Boot Leckhampton Hill & the Devil’s Chimney (20s & 30s Walk)

Event Date: Sun 10 March 2019
Event Time: 09:00

This walk is in the past.

A scenic walk in the Cotswolds that offers many a great view should the weather allow. We will follow the Cotswold Way out of Crickley Hill Country Park and along the escarpment at Barrow Wake. We will then make our way cross country through fields, eventually heading up Leckhampton Hill to bag the trig point, before walking round to the Devil's Chimney, a pinnacle of limestone rock that stands above the now disused quarry. We will then re-connect with the Cotswold Way which will lead us back into Crickley Hill Country Park.

Car Park: £3

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.
