Bit too early for a pint!

Part this morning's dog walk crossed the'Donnington Way' - I plan to do this walk in stages sometime but haven't yet done all the stages of 'The Cotswold Way' - 'one way at a time' I say.

The Donnington Way is a 62 mile walk linking the pubs of the Donnington Brewery in a circular path through rural Gloucestershire. Most Donnington houses offer bed and breakfast facilities, enabling you to walk distances of your choice. The Donnington Way is a true Cotswold delight for the rambler who thrives on well-kept countryside, hidden villages and good beer. The main locations of the route, starting from Stow-on-the-Wold are Longborough, Ganborough, Lower Swell, Great Barrington, Naunton, Guiting Power, Kineton, Ford, Snowshill, Stanton, Willersey, Moreton-in-Marsh, Little Compton, Broadwell, Stow-on-the-Wold.

Donnington Brewery brews real ale in the very heart of the Cotswolds and maintains 15 public houses in what must be one of the country's most perfect areas.
