The King’s Stanley Series will be a circular route that takes you along the footpaths around the picturesque Cotswold village of King’s Stanley. As yet, it is not a circular walk, but is still a pleasant stroll along public footpaths, over narrow bridges, through kissing gates and over stiles. The intention is to add to the series to complete the circular route.
Unfortunately, it is not suitable for pushchairs or wheelchairs and the terrain can be very muddy so suitable footwear is advised.
At the time of placing the first 5 caches in the series (following a period of heavy rainfall) the route was very muddy. However, our geo-kids loved playing in the sticky mud and stream and then later finishing up in the play ground. So, from that perspective, we would say that this route is geo-kid friendly. If undertaking these caches consecutively, please note that the field that runs between #6 and the track that runs along to #7 can be very boggy and muddy in places - both our geokids nearly lost a welly in the mud - but the adults were able to negotiate the edges of the bog without too much trouble.
Between #1 and #2 there is a field where horses were grazing - which although didn't pose any kind of safety issue to us passing through - we would highly recommend that any geo-hounds be kept on leads so as not to potentially cause upset to the horses. There are horses grazing in fields adjacent to the latter part of the route, so being careful with dogs would be a bad idea there too.
