Home Page Walks Photos .
	Leaving Andoverford we cross a stream
	Then cross a field where there are plenty of signs of the equestrian activity in the area
	To Upper Dowdeswell
	Where we pass the spring
	And the manor house
	We follow a narrow lane
	Finding a spot out of the wind for coffee
	Continuing across rolling countryside
	Before heading down into Withington
	And lunch at the Old Mill
	Post lunch and we have a few stiles to negotiate
	A little village nestling down in the valley
	Whatever happened to DEFRA?
	Our route takes us along a road
	Then over a stream
	Which we follow up a valley
	Then following an old railway line
	An oxbow lake in the making
	Roy pauses before a steep uphill climb
	Looking back into the valley
	We continue to Shipton Solers
	A ford to paddle for those in wellies
	And into the village
	A break at the village hall
Then over an old stone stile
And back across the fields to Andoversford

	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.
