Cheltenham at Christmas & New Year

Spectacular winter views across the Cotswolds over the festive period.
Overview

During these breaks, we'll walk one of the finest stretches of the Cotswold Way to Leckhampton Hill before taking in the spectacular views from the Devil's Chimney and the Cotswold Escarpment, with fantastic views across the River Severn to Wales. We can also walk out to Cooper's Hill, famous for its annual cheese rolling competition and ascend The Peak for another Cotswold panorama before descending through the village of Little Witcombe.

On Christmas Day, we'll take a shorter walk and stroll past Witcombe Reservoir and the remains of a Roman Villa before we return to the hotel to enjoy the rest of the day in the company of our travelling companions.

The pace throughout will be as relaxed as possible and due to the popularity of this holiday we may run two parallel groups, each with its own leader and independent arrangements.

I started leading for Countrywide Holidays in 1970 and spent summers at their guest houses in Snowdonia, the Lake District and Scotland.  I went on to act as a guide for the Austrian Alpine Club.  My career and family commitments took me away from leading but when the opportunity arose I started again in the late 1990s.
