Wonderful Walks
There are so many beautiful walks you can go on, both from the doorstep or just a short drive away, to take in the stunning Cotswold scenery that surrounds us here at Downhouse Farm. There are too many to pick from, but here are a few of our favourites. Copies of these can also be found in the welcome pack in the farmhouse on your arrival…
