Why is Bisley popular with walkers?

Bisley is surrounded by some of the most attractive countryside in the Cotswolds, making it a popular destination for walkers throughout the year. The village sits on elevated ground and provides access to a network of footpaths, bridleways and quiet country lanes that pass through rolling hills, woodland and open farmland.

Many walking routes offer impressive views across the Stroud Valleys and neighbouring Cotswold landscapes. The combination of historic buildings, peaceful scenery and relatively unspoilt surroundings appeals to both casual visitors and experienced hikers. Walkers can also explore nearby villages and landmarks while enjoying the character of a landscape that has changed relatively little over many generations.
