Amberley

The village of Amberley is the first stop on today's walk, and is close to the town of Stroud. Visit nearby Amberley Castle, a historical treasure that was hidden away for 900 years. Through the Portcullis and 60ft curtain walls, you'll find beautiful landscaped gardens and medieval architecture.

Washington

Washington is a new town, and was based on an old coal-mining village. The original pit-head buildings and mining apparatus used in the village are now a museum. Visit Washington Hall, a 17th century manor house where George Washington's ancestors lived. Here you can see displays on George Washington and explore the tranquil Jacobean garden.
