Sue Gearing takes us on a 6-mile walk, just West of Thornbury

This is a level circle with just two easy hills, big skies and open vistas along the edge of the Severn estuary in South Gloucestershire. It starts from a great pub at Oldbury-on-Severn. Near the end, call in at the church on a hill on the edge of Oldbury which commands great views across to Wales. It's about six miles, about three hours walking. Use the map OS Explorer 167, Thornbury, Dursley & Yate, ref: 601 924. Park at the Anchor Inn, Oldbury-on-Severn. Oldbury is a small village near the Severn, west of Thornbury. Go to Thornbury and follow the road signed to Oldbury. The pub has given permission for walkers to use the spacious car park opposite.

I have done this walk - well worth doing.

Good to see the pub has given permission to walkers to use their car park. I am sure the tired wakers will have worked up a thirst and a hunger by the time they have walked 6 miles! And are much more likely to go to the pub if they have allowed them to park there.

I have done many of Sue Gearings Walks. i have always found them to be very scenic with lots of beautiful views and plant life on route. Plus, Sue always makes sure there is a refreshments stop nearby!
