Wood Stanway to Winchcombe

Wood Stanway to Winchcombe

9 km · 210 m gain

Roughly 2.5 hours climbing onto the escarpment via Hailes Abbey country and a steep pull through Breakheart Plantation. Cromwell's Seat and the abbey ruins give the day some history between woodland sections.

Winchcombe is a good market-town stop with pubs and shops. Worth a proper break before the longer pulls around Cleeve Hill tomorrow.
