There is no better time to stretch your legs and make the most of the glorious outdoor world. Within our home county, The Cotswolds, we have some of the most breathtaking scenery in the country. Our latest journal shares with you, a handful of some of our most loved walks to undertake with friends, family, or even just by yourself, when visiting, or living in this lovely part of the world.
Broadway Tower
Starting off with Broadway Tower; this gothic style folly allows you to capture a glimpse of 16 counties combined with a gentle stroll for all. Not only does this walk present the best in British views, this national country park is the home of stunning red deer and a café to grab a refreshment when spending quality time with loved ones.
What to Wear:
It is best to aim for practicality when immersing yourself in the countryside. Our versatile navy Quilted Gilet is a refined layering piece for a new season stroll, while our Blouse made with Liberty Fabric gives a subtle nod towards the stunning florals in Britain’s natural world. Complete the look with our Casual Trousers and accessorise with our timeless, classic and traditional Leather Belt.
Cleeve Hill
At the highest point of Gloucestershire, Cleeve Hill is a popular spot to take in panoramic views of Cheltenham and its surrounding areas of The Cotswolds. You can settle on a challenge, by parking at the bottom and stopping for a spot of lunch at The Rising Sun pub before you reach the summit; or alternatively, you can opt to park nearer to the top for a stroll amongst potential flocks of sheep, horse riders and dog walkers. Even avid star-gazers make their way to Cleeve Hill for a clear night of spotting shooting stars and a rare occasional comet!
What to Wear:
A longer walk is known for resulting in rise in body temperature and our jerseywear is famous for assisting in natural temperature control, comfort and luxury. Our teal Jersey Trousers are a comfortable staple and team perfectly with our everyday Scoop Neck Jersey Top.

Leckhampton Hill, Cheltenham
Offering a 3km walk, Leckhampton Hill is the home of breathtaking landscapes, and varieties of beautiful wildflowers that enhance the habitat of many creatures from bees to butterflies. Follow the paths to capture a glimpse of one of our favourite local landmarks… Devil’s Chimney. This is a dramatic, twisted limestone rock formed from the ground, rising above the quarry with a tale of folklore linked to its existence.
