Cotswold Warden Guided Walks
This isn't a village group, but more walking options The Cotswold Warden Guided Walks provide more walking options for Selsley Residents.
There are several warden-led walks coming up within easy reach of Stroud. There is no need to book and there is no charge for joining the walks. However, there is a box for a voluntary contribution towards materials for our work on footpath maintenance. Walks start usually at 10.00 am. & will return to the starting point. A packed lunch is advisable. Sadly, no dogs allowed, but dog walkers could find attractive self-guided walks on the website. Additional details are on the Cotswold National Landscape (formerly AONB) website.
