Even though I go walking here all the time, I just never get tired of it. This place, Cleeve Common, is just so dramatic and seems to offer a completely new set of views every time I go. This is a walk down the Cotswold Way from the Cleeve Golf Club, joining up with the Isbourne Way, and then coming straight up over Cleeve Hill, a 300m ascent at an incredibly steep grade. The pool shown is man made- it was once a "sheep dip" used to clean sheep before they were shorn. If you are ever in the area, I highly recommend this walk!

Can one park at Cleeve Golf Club without being a member?
I live over in Blunsdon near Swindon and we have popped over to walk Cleeve Common but do find parking a problem (not much of it or I am looking in the wrong places?)
There is parking right nearby. Drive as though you are going to the golf club, go past the golf club on your right, and through a wooden gate. Turn immediately left and the track will curve right into a car park in the old, disused quarry. This parking is free and is meant for ramblers. I've never had trouble getting a space there. Good luck!
