Enjoying view from Cleeve Hill in April.Within easy reach of the South, the Cotswolds is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with sleepy villages built of mellow Cotswold stone, and rolling hills full of delightful low level walks. This weekend break with Barbara H is based at the very comfortable and friendly Cleeve Hill Hotel which lies only 100 yards from the Cotswold Way at Cleeve Hill and shares the same superb vantage point. From here we can make a wide meandering circuit of Cleeve Hill with views in all directions, or there's a lovely walk from the un-spoilt village of Winchcoombe, stopping to see the wonderful gardens at Sudeley Castle. There can also be an extra walk on Friday afternoon if you can arrive by 1pm. Cleeve Hill Hotel is beautifully decorated with lovely ensuite rooms - mainly doubles that we can take as singles, and two attractive and spacious twin rooms with very good views. Delicious breakfasts are served in the light and airy conservatory, and in the evening we can eat at the hotel, or stroll out to sample good eating places in the village. Cleeve Hill is 15 minutes by taxi from Cheltenham station. (Evening meals not included - from £15).

Beautiful colours at Mupes Bay.This late Easter weekend on the beautiful Dorset coast is based at Cromwell House Hotel in Lulworth Cove giving us an opportunity to walk the striking coastal paths nearby. On the Saturday we can take the path from the village heading to Durdle Door for a wonderful walk along the cliffs, maybe descending to the beach at Durdle Door if we feel energetic. On Sunday we could walk in the other direction from the Cove along another lovely stretch of coast path. If you can arrive by 1pm on Friday, there can also be an extra walk inland from the Cove. (These coastal walks are all well within the Low Intermediate grade, but may involve more 'up' and 'down' than some other low intermediate destinations). Lulworth Cove lies between Swanage and Weymouth, and is a short taxi ride from Wool station on the Waterloo to Weymouth line. Cromwell House is a comfortable 2 star hotel 200m from the sea front with ensuite twin and single rooms. (Ensuite single supplement £10 a night). Guided by Barbara H.
