Walking

As well as the Cotswold Way, snaking its way from the North to the South of the District, a number of circular walks have been created so any visitor to the area can enjoy the countryside.

Cycling

One of the best ways of enjoying the district's beautiful countryside is on a bicycle.

Two cycle routes within the District form part of the Sustrans National Cycle Network. The Berkeley Vale to Gloucester Cathedral route is complete whilst the Stonehouse-Nailsworth route is complete between those two towns, via Stroud, but the links to the network require further work.

Stroud's Tourist Information Centre stocks maps showing cycling routes in the area.
