A simple, there-and-back dog walk taking in Newark Park house and grounds. Just follow the Cotswold Way out of the village. A fairly steep climb through woods and up a track before branching off across fields to arrive at Newark's car park area. A modest entry fee gets you into the grounds (a welcome tea/coffee room with outside seating) where there's a choice of three, marked walks affording views and a chance to talk to the lambs. The gardens of the house are delightful and it's worth popping in to the house itself (leave the dogs outside). We spent the best part of a day out as the weather was glorious. The return, downhill, walk is much quicker, retracing our steps and taking in a path along side the stream and back into Valley Road. A very pleasant way to appreciate the English countryside and take in a little bit of history, too. Recommended!

Visit our alpaca farm in of the Cotswolds just outside Stroud. Meet our friendly championship winning herd and alpaca babies ("cria"). Lead one of our halter trained alpacas on a walk round the farm. Take a selfie holding one of the cria, and feel the incredible softness of a championship fleece. Bring a picnic or perhaps stay in our Luxury B&B. Alpaca walks have to be booked in advance.

Google maps will find the farm but Satnav won't! We had a group of 2 year old alpacas to choose from, all were delightful, all had names! They are mostly docile and easily led animals, although they prefer to stand still or eat! The Mums and babies were very skittish because we were unknowns! We were told they don't bite and only spit at each other (mostly the male stud animals!) but might get you by mistake! This did not happen to us. The owner was a mine of information and all our questions were answered as well, so, while I am not an expert, I now know a lot about these animals! They gradually get to know you during the walk which makes them less anxious. Their coats are amazing. Soft, soft like cashmere. You go for a walk around the farm between the fenced fields, mostly on cut grass. Some inclines, some lumps and bumps. The visit is for about an hour. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Lovely walk round the grounds with the family. Way walking but a bit muddy at times. The odd rope swing and seesaw to keep the children happy

Stunning gardens set in a beautiful backdrop of hills and valleys. We visited on a sunny day on July but I imagine it's lovely in the autumn too.

We spent the afternoon in Stratford Park after having a lovely meal in The Nelson just across the road from the Park. We had a lovely stroll through - the children loved watching the ducks, swans and a very laid back heron who didnt seem phased by us at all! We had a lovely sit down listening to the visiting Brass band that was playing to quite a crowd from the bandstand - so lovely that this still happens here!! We then took the children onto have an hour playing in the playground which was great fun and they all had a wonderful time (the zip line was a HUGE success!) quite a few of us were wishing we had our swimsuits with us as we were all hot and the outdoor pool looked VERY inviting!! Love visiting here

What a beautiful wild spot. We drove across the common a few months ago, as the sun was setting and it's one of the eeriest sensational sights I have ever seen! The free-racing cattle are a feature of the common, of all varieties, including the long-horns. It's a reminder of the raw beauty of the English countryside on our doorstep. This time we took the folding chairs (but no knotted handkerchiefs) and sat and admired it all. Wow!
