A fine, still and dry day, thrice postponed.  We started at Tresham where there is easy parking (not at the start marker) . A concreted farm track leads down into Ozleworth Bottom, easy tracks alomg the valley to Alderley, a pretty section of the Cotsold Way towards Hillesley and a section of the Monach way along a valley, infamous for its pheasan shoot, back to Tresham.

Two churches :  Tresham church   (a Chapel of Ease) built 1855 in the Norman style with a medieval alter and nice stone carvings at the ends of the chancel (of what?) and door arches

and St Kenelm in Alderley, rebuilt in in 1802 on the site of an earlier church with a  tower dating back to c.1450. Dominated inside by memorials to the Hale family. Sir Matthew Hale, Lord Chief Justice of England during the reign of Charles II.
