southcotswoldramblers.org.uk/books Walk 13 Nailsworth and Horsley |
|
| From
Nailsworth you will pass along a deep valley containing many fish ponds
with occasional herons until the walk reaches peaceful Horsley village. The return section on a higher route gives you wide views of Minchinhampton Common and Nailsworth. This is a relatively short walk, about 3 miles, but packed full of interest. Allow plenty of time, for, as one of Nailsworth's most illustrious residents, W.H.Davies, wrote, "What is this life, if full of care, we have no time to stand and stare." Afterwards you could mooch around Nailsworths individualistic shops. Or for a full day out it could be combined with Walk 14, starting at Kingscote or Nailsworth. Start point Newmarket Road, Nailsworth see map and Area Map Bus Timetables No 46 to Nailsworth from Stroud and Cheltenham No 93 to Nailsworth from Stroud and Gloucester No 40 to Nailsworth and Horsley from Stroud and Wotton-under-Edge |
