Embark on the Sapperton, The Leasowes & The Daneway Inn loop, a moderate hike through the varied landscapes of the Cotswolds. This 3.6-mile (5.7 km) route, with an elevation gain of 350 feet (107 metres), typically takes around 1 hour and 16 minutes to complete. You will wander through ancient woodlands like The Leasowes, known for its wildflowers and scenic vistas, and cross open fields with rolling hills. The trail also follows sections of the River Frome, offering views of its clear, fast-flowing waters, and includes some modest climbs that provide wider views of the surrounding area. Be prepared for a short, steep downhill and subsequent uphill stretch.
Starting in the picturesque village of Sapperton, this loop is generally suitable for most skill levels, though good fitness is recommended due to some varied terrain. You will find sections that can be muddy, particularly after rain, so wear appropriate footwear. The trail is well-regarded by hikers, with The Daneway Inn serving as a welcoming stop along the way, offering refreshments and even campsite facilities. Plan your visit to enjoy the diverse scenery, keeping in mind the moderate difficulty and the need for sure-footedness on certain paths.
This route offers a fascinating glimpse into local history and nature. You will follow sections of the historic, now derelict, Thames & Severn Canal, passing by its silted-up waterway and ruined locks, including the entrance to the Sapperton Tunnel, a significant engineering feat. The Daneway Inn itself has a rich past, originally built for tunnel miners and later serving bargees. Additionally, the trail passes through Daneway Banks Nature Reserve and Siccaridge Wood, ancient woodlands known for their diverse wildlife, including dormice.
