		This part of the Cotswolds appears to be a level plateau, but several deep valleys, or "bottoms", are cut into it and this walk explores Ozleworth Bottom and the Bagpath Valley. Both are well-wooded, with few buildings and fewer people. This is real "Shangri-La" country! For a full day’s walking, combine this 6 mile walk with number 14.
