There is no need to book and there is no charge for joining the walks, ‘though there is a box for a voluntary contribution towards materials for our work on footpath maintenance. Walks start usually at 10.00 am. & will return to the starting point. A packed lunch is advisable. Sadly, no dogs allowed. Additional details are on the Cotswold National Landscape (formerly AONB) website.   Guided routes – CNL https://www.cotswolds-nl.org.uk/exploring/guided-routes/
