Devised by Cheltenham Borough Council, the Cheltenham Circular Walk follows a route of approx 26 miles and gives wonderful views of the Cotswolds escarpment. The walk starts and ends at Pittville Park and passes Cheltenham Racecourse and Dowdeswell Reservoir. .
The Cheltenham Circular Caching Challenge of more than 100 caches follows this walk. It starts at Cheltenham Race Course with #1, and the caches are numbered clockwise. But you could of course start and stop anywhere along the route.
If you can't manage it in a day, then why not stay around the area. Cheltenham Borough Council have a tourist information office that will help you.
As you work your way round the Cheltenham Circular Caching Challenge, don't forget to collect numbers for the bonus cache.
For this cache, you are looking for a magnetic nano container alongside the footpath.The next cache in the series is 'Famous Cheltonians; Brian Jones'. Continue on the path, you can follow the route of the circular over the stream, up the steps, along the pavement and then back around through the gate, or stay on the right of the stream and cut through the field.
Happy caching!
