The 'Roundabout Ramble' is a figure-of-eight walk centred on the Avening Roundabout. The Roundabout is a circular clump of beech trees set on a plateau above Avening village. Its origin is shrouded in mystery and it looks particularly beautiful in winter when the branches are bare.
The ramble consists of a mixture of thirty-three caches, plus a bonus cache, it can either be done as a figure-of-eight of nearly seven miles or as two separate rounds of approximately three miles each.
PLEASE NOTE THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE PUBLISHED CO-ORDINATES
THE CACHE CAN BE FOUND AT N51 40.409 W002 09.464
Any information regarding the bonus cache found en-route should now be ignored.
The ramble is mainly on footpaths and quiet lanes. Some paths can be muddy at times and there are several stiles. There is a fairly steep start to the ramble up through the village before the route flattens out on the plateau. A copy of OS Explorer Map 168 Stroud, Tetbury and Malmesbury may be of benefit.
On street parking is available in Avening High Street and close to caches #10, #12, #20 and #27.
The painting of the Roundabout in winter is by local artist Rima Jones.
