The Stanleys have some of the most interesting, varied and beautiful walks in the Cotswolds. We are also blessed with fine scenery, historical features, fine architecture and parks. To help you to enjoy them, Kings Stanley Parish Council has published a guide to some of these public footpaths.

These walks are of varying levels and between 1.5 and 9 miles long. Download individual routes to find guidance on the distances involved and possible difficulties such as step-over stiles, steep hills, mud and livestock.
