Activities
Camping at a very scenic campsite in the Cotswold Hills. The campsite is situated on a working fruit farm next to the Cistercian Hailes Abbey and is directly on the Cotswold Way. The site has good facilities including new shower block, farm shop and tea room. We are visiting this year as the village is now linked up with the evocative GWSR steam railway.
On Friday early arrivals can join for the short walk to the nearby summit for great views.
On Saturday we take the steam train from Hayles Halt to Cheltenham and then up to the new terminus at the historic village of Broadway. After exploring the village we walk back to site along the Cotswold Way visiting Cotswold villages including the timeless splendour of Stanton and Stanway House. Pub stop on route with stunning views over the north Cotswolds from the ridge. Walk 8 miles. Barbecue and campfires.
On Sunday we can explore the abbey before short walk to Winchcombe with its timeless quality, historic church and many fine pubs and tea shops. Option to also walk around Sudeley Castle (featured in many costume dramas).
Refreshments
