Fairford walk 1

This easy circular walk starts in the pretty market town of Fairford with it's typical cotswold stone houses, shops, church and pubs. The walk starts from outside The Bull Hotel but there is a free car park at the top of the High Street too. After crossing the road onto Back Lane this will take you around the back of the town following the scenic River Coln before looping back around to the village. It's an easy, flat walk on solid paths. There is some road walking along paths back to the start. There are plenty of places to stop for food and drink along the route.

Fairford walk 1
Nice quiet walk with a mix of river, fields and Cotswold buildings. Facilities in Fairford although we didn’t make use of them. Perfect for dogs, ours was off the lead for around half the route.
Fairford walk 1
A pretty walk along the river. We went to The Bull pub after for some lunch, lovely!
Fairford walk 2
We have done this walk a few times. It’s a lovely route but it can get a bit muddy when it’s wet.
