A walk around the Fosse Way [28]
The Far Peak entrance, seen from the minor road that is the Salt Way. Far Peak offers a climbing gym and a campsite amongst other facilities.
The Salt Way is an old British trackway, which runs from Droitwich through Worcestershire, and into Gloucestershire near Ashton-under‑Hill. It then runs past Hawling, Salperton, and Hazleton to cross the Fosse Way between Northleach and Stowell Park. It then proceeds by Crickley Barrow to Coln St. Aldwyns, where it crosses Ikenild Street and leaves Gloucestershire at Lechlade on its way to the coast of Hampshire.
Starting at Fossebridge, where the Fosse Way descends precipitously to cross the River Coln, the walk gently ascends on a road and then a bridleway to meet a minor road which is part of the Salt Way. After using the Salt Way to cross the Fosse Way the route descends on footpaths and minor roads via Oxpens Farm and Stowell Mill to return to Fossebridge.
