On the Edge

See Alert message re parking . An undulating walk from Hook Norton, which is Just outside the Cotswolds AONB. With good tracks, quiet lanes and grassy paths this is an ideal walk in an area not so well known. Optional lunch at Hook Norton Brewery café at the end of the walk.

If the brewery car park is busy please go beyond Brewery Lane to turn right into a road called The Bourne where there is plenty of space to park on the left. We will be walking past there so there is no need to walk to the brewery, instead meet at the top of Watery Lane and join the group as we pass by at about 10:10am. The family owned brewery at Hook Norton has been in business since 1849 and is well worth a visit. You can book a tour on the afternoon of the walk by emailing brewery@hooky.co.uk The brewery café serves a menu with variety at a reasonable charge. The walk is generally on well maintained paths but may be muddy after rain.
