Postcode takes you almost to the car park – you need to look out for the little white signpost to Dover's Hill, pointing to the car park. No height barrier. It's a small car park but there's usually spaces apart from busy holiday times.
Mainly flat with some pleasantly hilly bits on the return leg. If you wanted to go for a short, flat walk, that’s possible, from the car park along the top fields and turn around to go back. Local Features: Nearby Chipping Campden is a particularly beautiful village, with the quaint tea-shops you’d expect. Dover's Hill is the location each Spring for the ridiculous and fun Cotswold Olimpicks featuring classic sports such as shin-kicking.
No water here
Poo bags must be taken home. And although there's loads of sheep poo everywhere, dog poo is of course toxic to sheep so we've got to pick up after our dogs.

There are spectacular views across the Vale of Evesham. You need to be very aware of the sheep. Even if there are none to be seen when you start the walk, within a minute a whole bunch of them can scramble up/down the steep bank and suddenly appear. Keeping dogs on leads is particularly important at lambing time.
There’s a handy map on the noticeboard in the car park and you can extend (or shorten!) the walk. We walked across the first field towards the magnificent view across the Vale, turned left at the bottom of the steps, going down the hill with the fence to our right towards the field with woods at the bottom, and then we turned left, back up towards the little path, leading to the first field, left again up the steep path between two hillocks and then back to the car park. Depending on how much stopping and sniffing, taking scenic photos, and feeding the sheep, you do, the walkies about 30 to 40 minutes.
If you can make it longer by turning right at the bottom of the steps, going through the gate and walking along the path with the great views of the Vale of Evesham to your left. You get close to a main road, then turn round and come back, with a choice of routes when you’re back at the gate and steps.
