Walks in the Cotswolds: Chastleton

Chastleton, in the north-east Cotswolds, has a stunning Jacobean country house dating from the early 1600s, and the area offers easy to moderate walks of 4 to 12 miles (6.5 to 20 km) in a lovely landscape.
Ancient footpaths take you through picturesque countryside, with beech woodland, cattle grazing green pastures and arable fields brimming with deep green wheat and vibrant yellow oilseed rape.  Not only that, walks present long views over the Cotswold Hills to Broadway Tower in the west and to Moreton-in-Marsh in the north.
