Cleeve Common Rocks
OK, fantastic plants, great history and archeology, but the stuff that makes it all happen on Cleeve is the geology underneath. Join with us and Alice Kennedy of Gloucestershire Geological Trust and discover all on a walk around the common. Bring suitable refreshment.
This walk is stile-free, though with some rocky paths and ups and downs! Lots of work has been done on the common to keep visible the key features of a site which was part of the development of modern geology. The history revealed does much to explain why the Cotswolds are what they are today.
