Navigation

  1. From the West Door of the church (in the tower) cross the road and walk along Black Jack Street, past Corinium Museum. After a righthand bend, take the first turning on the left (Cecily Hill). Follow this through the gates into Cirencester Park and continue straight on for approximately 1 mile (the tarmac path ends and becomes a grass path) until you reach Pope’s Seat
  2. Bear right and continue [in this direction] straight on with the wood on your right. Immediately after the polo scoreboard turn right and go through a metal gate into a field. Take the track to the right, with the hedge on your right. After another mile the path bends to the right, towards a building. Go through a gate and take the footpath to the right, with the stream on your left.
  3. Follow this path between a fence and trees, through a gate, then through a narrow gate: allotments on your right. Through another gate, continue along Donside, then through a gap or squeeze stile in the wall into a field. Take a diagonal path to the left, to the far corner of the field. Go through a gap onto the road, turning right and following the pavement to a petrol station (keep on your left). Behind the petrol station you can see the River Churn.
  4. Look for the footpath on the right, after the petrol station, through a gap in the wall. Follow this footpath along a water course to a road, cross the road and onto a path. Keep on this path with the stream on your right, past the open air swimming pool. At the road turn left and then right onto Coxwell Street. At the end of the street turn right onto Dollar Street and continue back to the church and the market place.
