The Latton Loop is a circular walking route that takes you around the village of Latton and through the quieter countryside that surrounds it, offering a genuine sense of rural England away from the busier parts of the region.
The path winds along footpaths crossing fields and skirting woodlands, with gentle views opening up across the landscape as you go. It's an accessible walk suitable for most abilities, making it a peaceful escape without demanding much in terms of fitness or experience.
As you walk, keep watch for local wildlife, and you'll likely come across St John the Baptist church in the village itself, a structure with several centuries of history woven into its walls. The route's particular appeal lies in its proximity to the River Thames in its earliest stages, when it's still finding its way through the landscape. Depending on which parts of the loop you follow, you may find yourself close to the river or its floodplains, where you can soak in the tranquil atmosphere. The whole area bears the marks of generations of farming and community life, which shapes both the land and the character of the place.
Once you've finished your walk, Cirencester is a short drive away if you want provisions, a hot drink, or further exploration of a market town layered with Roman history. Cricklade, an ancient borough, offers a smaller alternative nearby if you prefer something less busy.
