The Cotswold Way – Day 3 Birdlip Hill to Stroud

I’ve challenged myself to day walk The Cotswold Way in the month of May. The Cotswold Way which is 102 miles long is normally walked from Chipping Campden at it’s northern end to Bath Abbey. The Cotswold Way roughly follows the western edge of the Cotswold escarpment, which means you have wonderful views across the Severn Valley towards The Malvern Hills, The Black Mountains and the Forest of Dean. My journey along The Cotswold Way in a southerly direction. Day 1 - Chipping Campden to Winchcombe, 18 mile walk, total 18 miles. Day 2 - Winchcombe to Birdlip Hill, 20 mile walk, total 38 miles. Day 3 - Birdlip Hill to Stroud, 17 mile walk, total 55 miles (this video), This video covers the route from my starting point at the top of Birdlip Hill some 17 miles down the Cotswold Way to Stonehouse/Stroud. The trail is well sign posted, and mostly went through wonderful Beechwoods full of cowslips, bluebells and garlic. I had forgotten how steep the cheese-rolling slope down Cooper’s Hill was and what a good view you get from the top. The town of Painswick was interesting especially the Yews in the churchyard. There were also expansive views across the Severn Valley at several points along the way at; Birdlip, Cooper’s Hill, Painswick Beacon, Haresfield Hill and Haresfield Beacon where I stopped for tea. The final part of day threes walk is through Standish Woods before emerging out of the Beechwoods onto Maiden Hill, high above Stroud and Stonehouse.
