At a point to the north of the village of Randwick, this track leaves the road to lead the walker into the National Trust-owned property of Standish Wood. This mixed beech woodland has in the spring a riot of bluebells to show the visitor and looks out over Standish Park and beyond to the Severn Vale. Joining the Cotswold Way National Trail on its way southwards from Chipping Campden (silent p) to Bath, the route meets an Iron Age cross dyke, a number of tumuli and a long barrow and also disused quarries. To the north on the Cotswold escarpment are the viewpoints of Haresfield Hill and Haresfield Beacon.
