Embark on the Stinchcombe Hill on the Cotswold Way loop from Dursley, a moderate hike that offers a diverse landscape. You will traverse open country, peaceful woodlands, and even sections crossing golf courses and quiet country roads. The 3.9-mile (6.3 km) route features steep ascents and descents, especially as you leave Dursley, providing a good workout for your legs. Along the way, you can enjoy expansive views across the Severn Vale, including the distant Severn Bridges and the Forest of Dean, particularly from Drakestone Point. This loop, with its 462 feet (141 metres) of elevation gain, typically takes about 1 hour and 48 minutes to complete.
When planning your visit, Dursley offers convenient parking options, making it an ideal starting point for this popular route. While the trail is rated moderate, be ready for some challenging climbs and descents, particularly around the Cotswold Edge. Ensure you have sure-footedness for certain parts of the path. This route is enjoyable throughout the year, but checking local weather conditions before you set out is always a good idea.
This trail is part of the larger Cotswold Way, a long-distance footpath that showcases the stunning natural beauty of the Cotswolds National Landscape. As you hike, keep an eye out for the prominent Tyndale Monument, a historic landmark that stands tall and is visible from various points along the route. The varied terrain, from open fields to quiet roads, provides a comprehensive experience of the local environment. This loop offers a great way to explore a significant section of the Cotswold Way without committing to the full long-distance path.
