About trip
Birdlip to Painswick - 8.6 miles (13.9 Km)
From Birdlip, the Trail passes through magnificent
semi-natural beech woodlands and on to Coopers Hill, the site of the annual
cheese-rolling event. The route then emerges onto the common land and golf
course of Painswick Beacon, where the ramparts of an Iron Age hill fort can be
clearly seen. The section then ends in the picturesque town of Painswick, the
mid-point of the Cotswold Way.
You descend twice as far as you climb on this section, with
590 feet (180 metres) of ascent and 1066 feet (325 metres) of descent.
