Stage 6

Dowdeswell to Leckhampton Hill
9 km · 324 m gain
Plan for about 3 hours past Lineover Wood and Seven Springs through woodland and farmland onto Leckhampton Hill. The profile gets lumpier here - beeches, short steep sections, and the Devil's Chimney rock pillar worth spotting on the way.
Leckhampton Hill opens onto big views over Cheltenham and the Severn Vale. Pick your finish point carefully; the path doesn't always drop straight into a village with services.
