Walks in and around Amberley

We are fortunate to be a stone’s throw from walks with views on Minchinhampton Common. Besides the cows and golf course, it is also famous for its orchids, cow slips, sky larks, butterflies, and kite flying.

From the common, there’s a gate down through the church grounds to our shop and café. It is well-hidden behind hole 5 on the golf course.

You can spend an hour wandering around Amberley, including Trinity Church’s graveyard with magnificent trees, rumoured to be planted by someone from Westonbirt Arboretum. But if you want inspiration to explore further, here are some of our favourite walks that can include a break at our cafe.

You can find fabulous OS pocket maps by yellow walks next to the till in the shop.
