Crickley
Hill Country Park
Crickley Hill
Country Park is a country park on the Cotswold scarp approximately
6 miles East of Gloucester.
|
Crickley
Hill enjoys extensive views over the surrounding countryside,
views that are hard to beat on a clear day.
The country
park is a site of nature conservation, geological & archaeological
interest.
The country
park is popular with walkers and dog owners, but its large
size means that it never feels crowded.
There
is a centrally located picnic area and throughout the country
park you will find benches should you need to stop for a breather. |

There
is a visitor centre on site (seasonal opening) & information
on waymarked trails is available via posters displayed at
the visitor centre all year round.
The six
trails are marked with coloured posts in the ground and are
designed to explore the different areas of historical and
geographical interest at Crickley Hill.
The guide
map at the Crickley Hill visitor centre states that the trails
will take between 30 minutes and 1 hour but will take less
time (dependant on your walking pace). The red trail for instance
is said to take 60 minutes but can be walked in just 45 minutes |
There is a plentiful
supply of parking space at Crickley Hill with a seperate coach park.
Park open all year, daily.
