		Leaving the Leisure Centre in Stroud Olivia leads us out through Stratford Park .
		And along the path behing Tescos .
		After a brief stretch of the A419 .
		We drop down to the canal .
		And follow the towpath .
		To Ebley Mill .
		At the back of which we find a very muddy footpath - too much farming activity here .
		Still we cross the bypass and head toeards Selsley .
		Ramblers .
		Gambolers .
		A brief stop as we enter Selsley village .
		And we start the climb up the common .
		Looking back over the valley to Doverow .
		At the top a welcome rest .
		Before we head downhill .
		And into the National Trust property at Boundary Court .
		We walk around the valley .
		Looking past Woodchester church and across to Rodborough .
		Eventually arriving at our lunch stop - the Ram Inn in Woodchester .
		The afternoon sees us cross the A46 .
		Climbing the hill .
		With Woodchester behind us .
		And into Manor Woods .
		Through Amberley and on to Rodborough Common .
		We continue through Rodborough Pavilion grounds .
		And down Rodborough Fields .
		To the River Frome .
		Which we walk along into Stroud .
		Walking through a well decorated .
		Underpass .
		Walking back along the A419 to our starting point - the sign? - Same as a zebra crossing only green .

As you can see, we thoroughly enjoy getting to know the South Cotswolds. We try to keep fit and succeed in having a good old chat. If you are interested in coming with us, see our Led Walks Programme and ring the leader if you have any questions about a particular walk. After two or three walks we hope you will then want to join the group as part of the Ramblers.
