9:00 3 Boot Trails around Tetbury (Joint Walk)

Event Date: Sun 28 September 2025
Event Time: 9:00

This walk is in the past.

We'll set out from the picturesque town of Tetbury in the Cotswolds and wander through small woodlands and across open fields, passing a castle, numerous country houses and a couple of Cotswold villages. Considering it's in the Cotswolds, this is a relatively flat route - only 240m or so of ascent, but it is a long one.
Expect:
- Fields with cows and horses
- Pheasants
- A book-swap opportunity in an old phone box
- Blackberry, plum and apple foraging opportunities
- Stiles and uneven ground
- Some mildly overgrown paths
- Some road-walking, although most are quiet ones
- Only 1 fallen tree to climb over this weekend!

Bring:
- Lunch, snacks and plenty to drink
- Something to sit on at lunchtime
- Suncream (we may be lucky with some sunshine!)
- Warm layers/waterproofs

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,
