Go right along the High Street, past Crown Hotel on your right, and after Fish Cottage on the right and electricity sub-station on the left, there is a gate leading to the woods. As these are woods rather than fields, there aren’t cows or sheep but still lots of pheasants, and sometimes shooting. Through the gate and then a stream (brook?) runs along the left. I keep to the main path and follow it round, turn around and come back.
The official information, on signs in the woods and on the Batsford Estate website says: Despite Bourton Wood being private, it is possible to obtain an annual walking permit for you and your household to enjoy the beautiful changing season in the wood…..Permits can be obtained by completing the request form and calling into The Estate Office. It is possible that not every person walking in the woods has obtained a permit and I’m not aware of stringent checks.
