Miserden Walks

We have an affection for Miserden. during the second lockdown we lived in Duntisbourne Leer and our go to place for some fresh air and tranquility was the Miserden estate. It is a little bit of a further trek but you’ll love it – and you can end your circular walk with some refreshment at the Carpenters Arms.

The Carpenters did a fantastic takeaway in the days of not being able to sit in the pub and then post lockdown we’ve had some great Sunday lunches there plus great entertainment in the pub garden where you’ll often find live music on a weekend in the warmer months.

Miserden is a starting point for some serious walks around the area but also has a great circular walk taking from the pub and down the hill towards the deer park. The shorter walk is a great way to walk off a Sunday lunch and a few craft beers!

Tickets to visit the garden can be booked from their website – check the opening as times and days are seasonal. Be sure to try out the Glasshouse cafe and admire the complex engineering that goes into the mechanisms required to open the windows! The recently refurbished glasshouse dates back to the 1920s and would have been used to supply fruit and veg to the house and to the village in the past.
