Walk of the week: A loop around beautiful Frampton
By Lottie Welch 6th Jul 2021
Every week we will be sharing a circular walk in and around our local area with directions and photos. We use the OS Map app, which is very useful if you are out walking.
If you subscribe to our newsletter, you will be able to receive the walk first every Friday and be able to enjoy it over the weekend.
This week's walk is a loop around Frampton, approximately 2.3 miles and taking around an hour. It is easy level walking with some inclines.
Start in Tibbs Hollow car park and walk down the footpath in the corner behind the picnic tables, signposted 'Roman Aqueduct'.
Go through the wooden kissing gate just past a metal gate on your right and take the first right at the crossways just into the woods. Continue straight along this path until you get to an information board about the Roman aqueduct and go through the gate to the right of it.
Go straight through the field to a kissing gate at the other side. Turn left onto the path, signposted 'Frampton & A356.
At the T-junction turn right, following signs to Frampton. Follow the path around to the left towards a bridge and go over it, continuing on the path.
When the path meets a road, cross the road and turn left to walk along the pavement. Continue along this road, passing a church on your right and turn down the road on your left signposted 'Southover', 'Tibbs Hollow' and 'Rose Garden'.
When the road bends to the right just after Frampton Roses, turn left following signs to 'Tibbs Hollow'.
There will be a gate on the left a little way up the hill, go through it and turn right, taking the right-hand path where it forks. Continue along the path, sticking to the right where there are footpaths to the left before going through a gate and re-joining the road. You can alternatively explore the woods and make your way back up to the car park, which is up the hill. Follow the road until the car park is on the left.
This walk is just a suggestion, you can of course take any different routes you wish to make it more direct or make it longer. Always take extra care where the ground is uneven or wet.
Please leave gates as you find them - if you opened it, close it.
Please keep dogs on leads around livestock.
