This is a walk I'd been meaning to take for quite some time. These two pretty villages- well, Caudle Green is more of a hamlet- really are off the beaten path, even by Cotswolds standards. They lie at the head of the Golden Valley, and the views they offer are as dramatic as they are beautiful. The walk is fairly well documented, and well sign posted. Even though it was a lovely Saturday morning, it was very quiet. I only came across one horse rider and one couple walking their dogs during the whole 5 1/2 miles!
