Foxcote Hill

Archaeologists have identified this as a Roman site, and while you won't find any buildings standing, the ground has yielded evidence of Roman occupation stretching back two thousand years. It's a place where you can stand and contemplate the people who once lived and worked here, looking out across a landscape that hasn't fundamentally changed in all that time.

The walk up is straightforward and not demanding. Once you reach the top, you're rewarded with impressive panoramic views across the rolling Cotswold countryside. What makes this spot particularly appealing is the quiet character of the area around Andoversford. It feels genuinely removed from the busier tourist routes, giving you a real sense of the working countryside rather than a sense of following in other visitors' footsteps.

Andoversford village is just down the road if you need a drink or something to eat, and there's a local pub for a casual stop. For more substantial dining options or facilities, Cheltenham is only a short drive away. This walk works well as an afternoon outing on its own or as part of a broader exploration of the local area.
