Eastleach and Macaroni Downs

This is a free sample walk but you need to log in as a member of Walkingworld to access the details. Join or log in above if you are already a member.

This walk starts and finishes from the delightful village of Eastleach on the River Leach. The outward leg is across open and unspoilt countryside and the return mainly follows the banks of the Leach. Of particular interest is the Roman crossing of the river by Akeman Street, with evidence of associated Roman terracing and ancient field systems.

Thank you for the update and amendments, these will be investigated. Walkingworld DO recommend that OS maps are taken on the walks along with the provided print outs as it is always possible (and sometimes necessary) to go off course occasionally and the map with a larger area is essential at these times.

Nice walk but not everyone has OS maps. The start of the walk is the Eastleach village hall not the school house which quite a distance. At 6 should read, after going through gap in wall turn left keeping woods on left and fields on right.
