Tips from locals
Belas Knap is an ancient neolithic burial ground. To get there from the town there is a lovely (but quite steep at times!) walk, which follows some ancient walking routes
Distance from here: 40 min drive/17 miles. A great example of a Neolithic long barrow. Lovely walk to the barrow includes a steep climb through woodland and fields, two stiles and a kissing gate. Winchcombe is close by with shops and places to eat.
A rare Neolithic burial chamber thought to be about 5000 years old! Get your walking boots on and explore - there are maps in the cottage
If you are a fan of archaeology and history this should interest you. A nice walk up to the site - park on the road in the lay-by where the English Heritage sign is. The walk benefits from some wonderful views. The site itself is fabulous- not loads to see but a really interesting place to visit non-the-less. A chambered tomb dating from about 3800 BC. Thirty one skeletons were discovered in the tomb, and these and other artifacts can be seen in the village folk museum in Winchcombe. Belas Knap is an outstanding example of a Neolithic long barrow.
