Help connect Orcop Hill
Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Orcop Hill’s Slow Ways.

From Dewsall to Much Dewchurch the route passes some luxurious properties that prompted me to reflect on the meaning of "levelling up", and how this oxymoron came to be assimilated into the formal name of a Government department. Photo 1 shows the drive up which the route approaches Dewsall Court and Photo 2 shows The Lawns; the correct line of the footpath between these two locations is a little difficult to follow, and careful use of the OS map app was necessary to stay on track. The route also passes close to the remains of a moated house, where I saw a pair of swans and their cygnets (Photo 6, with Bryngwyn Manor in the background). At Old Bryngwyn the route turns right along a former carriageway connecting Bryngwyn Manor with a neighbouring - much older - large house, The Mynde (carriageway Photo 7, lake, house and island "temple" Photos 8 and 9)....

There were a couple of steep sections and stiles and gates to be clambered over so the route would not be suitable for all....
The only downside to the route was the section passing Cot Barn to Hentland House. I wouldn't walk this route again without an amendment to the section above....
