Thirteen members of Cirencester Ramblers undertook a 6 mile circular walk from the National Trust model farm buildings at Coleshill, North of Swindon. The walk was taken from a selection of published walks for the estate. Walking mostly on grass paths and field edges the walk encompassed Badbury Ring, the Great Barn at Coxwell and Coxwell village, returning to the start through the parkland. With the fortunate break in the wet weather we enjoyed views both to the North across Oxfordshire and South to the Ridgeway.
