18th January: 10 cm snow and still falling

Beautiful landscapes with pristine snow, but signs and footpaths covered with snow so routes not distinguishable.

Happy rambling

January can be a great time to walk the Cotswolds

Joy on the way to Blockley

Winter can be a great time to walk in the Cotswolds.  We have crisp days with blue skies and bright sunshine intermingled with warmer cloudy days.

January last year we we suffering drought, January this year the ground is very wet.      

Paths are still passable, but with care and we recommend guided rather than self-guided walks. 

Walking boots with a deep tred/lugs for a good grip on wet and icy ground are essential and gaiters for protection from the mud are extremely useful.

Happy Walking
