A circular walk around Winchcombe [65]
The walk passes through this kissing gate and ends where it meets the starting point in Castle Street.
From Castle Street, the walk runs north alongside the River Isbourne to Broadway Road. Joining the Cotswold Way, the route turns northeast to ascend Puck Pit Lane before heading southeast for a steep climb up Salters Hill. Then south along the historic Salt Way, turning southwest then south again to cross the minor road and join the Wardens Way, which is followed past Studley Castle back to the starting point. About 4½ miles.

Traditional telegraph pole on Castle Street, Winchcombe
In the 60s these were the standard, now you hardly ever see them. Winchombe had quite a few, more than anywhere else I've seen.
