		This is an open level 5 mile walk across ancient fields with dry stone walls. The edge of Westonbirt Arboretum is reached before the route leads back to Leighterton. Numerous meadow birds including the rare corn buntings can be seen, and hares are often sighted on the grassy slopes near the end of the walk. For a small village, Leighterton has much to interest the visitor and the walk ends with a short tour. Not on the walk, but near to the school, trees mark the largest Neolithic Burial Chamber in the Cotswolds. Start point by the Royal Oak in Leighterton see map and Area Map Bus Timetable No 279 to Leighterton from Tetbury
