Those wonderful people at Cirencester Ramblers have produced a series of self-guided circular walks, taking in hidden gems and more well-known places.
There are five walks in the series, all of which start at St John the Baptist Church in the Market Place, Cirencester, and range from 2.5 miles to 9 miles. They explore different areas, including Cirencester Amphitheatre, Baunton, Bagendon and Cirencester Park.
All are easily walkable from Cirencester and the leaflets have clear written instructions as well as mapping along the routes. Each map includes a ‘Did You Know’ box containing interesting or unusual facts.
