Selsley Common short walk
2.25 miles

A lovely walk around Selsely common and through the woods. This is similar to the second Selsley common walk however it is shorter and there is less woodland walking. It still includes some nice walking through the woodland and up onto the Selsley common area. There is a steep climb through the middle and other sections of this walk.

Selsley Common longer walk
4.5 miles

This second Selsley common walk is longer and explores more of the wonderful woodland. There is both undercover forestry walking and also exposed walking on the common with some lovely scenic and panoramic views over the Cotswold countryside. There are some very steep segments in the woodland and on this walk which may get muddy and be uneven so please take care.

There are also a few local pubs a short drive away for refreshments.
