Daffodil Way Walk and Route Map

The Daffodil Way is a circular walk of about 9 miles from Dymock, a village in the west of Gloucestershire close to the Herefordshire border. It takes its name from the daffodil country around the village, and Dymock's church of St Mary, the Beauchamp Arms and the war memorial all sit close to where the route begins and ends.

The walk heads out across low, gently rolling countryside, crossing the River Leadon and passing the lines of the old Gloucester & Ledbury Railway and the Hereford & Gloucester Canal, both now part of the area's past. Further on there are woods to pass, including Haind Park Wood, Allums Grove, Oxenhall Wood and Dymock Wood, and Kempley Brook and the church of St Mary at Kempley mark the western side of the loop. The hamlets of Fishpool and Four Oaks and the manor of Boyce Court are also close to the route.

It is a long walk but an easy-going one, with very little climbing, so it suits a relaxed half day or more of steady walking. Follow the route map on the app to keep on track.
