An international rugby player has recommended Cleeve Hill walk as one of the best attractions for those taking holiday cottages in the Cotswolds.
Speaking to the Guardian, England and Gloucester flanker Andy Hazell described it as "the best walk in the Cotswolds", noting that he often takes his dog along the route, which offers a clear view over Cheltenham, the river Severn and towards Wales at its highest point.
There are also a number of "great" traditional pubs in the area, he remarked, noting that these are popular with the large number of people involved with Gloucestershire”s horseracing scene.
The Plough at Ford pub is one such establishment, he stated, adding that the jockeys from Jonjo O”Neil”s training yard are regulars there.
The Cotswold Journal recently reported that a programme of guided walks and hikes has been organised by the Cotswolds Conservation Board, with the scheme running until March and featuring routes ranging from four to 12 miles in length.
