These walks begin in the wonderfully picturesque village of Stanton, widely regarded as one of the most beautiful villages in the Cotswolds.

From here, the walks explore the rolling countryside that surrounds the village, taking in peaceful woodland, open valleys and sweeping hilltop views that can stretch for miles on a clear day.

The routes range from a shorter outing to two longer adventures, climbing up onto the hills around Shenberrow and beyond, with plenty of rewarding scenery along the way - and welcoming country pubs in Stanton and nearby Snowshill to enjoy at the end.

Stanton Walk 2

Walk distance

Time
3.5 hours
Route type
Circular

This second route option is a much longer adventure from Stanton.

It still enjoys the lovely undulating countryside around the village itself and the wonderful country pub, but this route also takes you on a much bigger loop of walking that visits the pretty church in Buckland and another great pub in Snowshill.

This is a long walk, with a lot of hills, so please go prepared with the appropriate clothing and refreshments.

Stanton Walk 3

Route type
Circular

This third route is basically an alternative version of the second long route.

It still visits the lovely pubs in Stanton and Snowshill, but instead of making it all the way up to the village of Buckland, you'll spend more time exploring the hills and woodlands between the villages of Stanton and Snowshill.
