Walk & stay

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.

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 and things to do that can include a break at our cafe.
