This site’s main purpose is to host information about “recreational routes” in Gloucestershire and neighbouring counties. A recreational route is a longer walk (or cycle) using a series of rights-of-way, sometimes necessarily also going along roads or by-ways. These tend to be longer walks, often requiring a number of days to complete. Recreational routes are not “National Trails” which benefit from significant government funding. However, both are shown on larger-scale OS maps as diamonds and in many cases recreational routes are supported by local authorities or active volunteer groups.
I’ve also included a few pages discussing some of my recent adventures, walking and cycling. These may be of interest to some. The countryside is there for us all. It’s free, and needs to be cherished.
