Gloucestershire Walks
Chosen Hill is a short but fun walk in Gloucestershire, offering great views and a sense of adventure along the way.
The main route is quite short with a few steep bits, but there are plenty of extra paths to explore, with hidden fairy doors to spot and panoramic views from the trig point at the top. It’s a lovely little outing for curious walkers, families and anyone looking for a quick walk with a magical twist.

The walk
Chosen Hill is a wonderful place to visit with amazing views and hidden secrets to find, including fairy doors and a large golden egg. We found a fairy door but unfortunately we didn't find the golden egg on our route.
Although this is a short walk, if you are looking for an adventure, there are plenty of other paths to explore and the views from the trig point and pretty church are beautiful.

First-hand experiences
An interesting and enjoyable walk, including the church and butial ground. Make sure you do the 2 out and backs to the viewpoints. Plan to go back and do some of the other paths including by the reservoirs.
My 1st time trying out app in area i know well and i got used to it - it worked well
Lovely walk with beautiful views. Start the walk from horsebere nature reserve opposite Gloucester Tenpin bowling. Some inclines.
Lovely but treacherous in places after rain. There is a very dangerous style and i have a screenshot of location if you’d like it. The post and fence is seriously loose and wobbly and i was sure it was going to come down and take me with it! Walking alone but was determined not to turn back! Also a lethal area full of fallen fruit that can’t be avoided and i had a fall. Im ok! Just filthy muddy! I do appreciate this app though, so thank you
Lovely circular walk with lots of views out on the wider landscape. Very muddy in places, to be expected this time of year! Steep inclines. Worth noting that the drive to the carpark includes a one track lane so be prepared to reverse if meeting oncoming vehicles! Enjoyed the walk and would do it again.
Not my most enjoyable not very wide paths at all. Dogs can mooch but no ball throwing. Need to be fit to do it lots of up hills, ground not even in parts. Personally i would come from otherside of hill on the nature reserve side by the dual carriageway.
Good walk, took about 45 minutes. Dog off lead for majority, only one small field where there were some sheep. Couple of steepish hills but otherwise fairly pleasant.
