[1] Leave the car park by the pedestrian entrance at its south end and walk towards Snowshill village. Take the right fork where the road enters the village and walk along the rear of Snowshill Manor. Pass the Snowshill Arms on your right and village church on your left. Disregard a road on the left that runs round the back of the churchyard. Continue out of the village going uphill until you come to a road junction where you take the road that heads down slope to the right.
Go past a triangular junction with a road on your right then, 100 metres later, turn left into a farm drive with a public bridleway sign. Pass to the right of farm buildings and follow a grassy strip along the left hand edge of a large field. When you reach a field gate you should go through and follow the left hand side of the field boundary from this point on. Approaching a woodland strip you go through a bridle gate out to a road and immediately turn right onto a footpath running between the trees. Continue on this path as it emerges from the woodland and climbs gently up slope along the right hand edge of a field.
[2] At a track junction turn right onto a byway that runs north over Shenberrow Hill. Although you hardly notice, this byway runs over one of the high points of the Cotswolds, at just over 300 metres. You do have views to your right over the dip slope of the Cotswolds, largely devoted to arable farming, and should be able to make out Broadway Tower to the north east. Where the byway joins a tarmac lane you turn left and shortly right, following a Cotswold Way signpost, onto an unsurfaced track. Follow this track down Laverton Hill. You pass disused quarries on the right and then the entrance to Laverton HIll Barn. At this point the route is close to the top of the escarpment and you have wide views to the west. The flat top of Bredon Hill should be obvious. Further south there are the wooded tops of Dumbleton and Oxenton Hills. Depending on the clarity of the air you may make out the Malverns, the Sugarloaf and Hay Bluff, the Clee Hills and the Lickey Hills amongst others. Continue down the Cotswold Way and disregard a track leading off to the left.
[3] You reach a signpost at the junction of by-ways. Continue downhill on the Cotswold Way. (The other by-way leads to Laverton). You reach a field gate and continue on a track along the bottom edge of a grassy field. Immediately after a second field gate turn right through a metal kissing gate onto a path waymarked as part of the Winchcombe Way. Follow this path diagonally across the next field.
Go through a kissing gate and turn right along an unsurfaced track. Go through a gate and follow the track uphill. The track transforms imperceptibly into a minor road.
[4] After just over a kilometre there is a kissing gate on the left with a signpost for a footpath on the Winchcombe Way. Follow this path downhill through grassland. You can see Snowshill village at the head of the valley to your right. Go through a gate at the bottom right corner of a field and continue down through woodland. This section of the walk can be muddy. Go through a gate out of the wood and climb up across a grassy field, aiming for a gateway beside a National Trust sign. Go through the gate and follow a clearly defined path up slope through part of the Snowshill Manor estate.
You emerge at the entrance to the Snowshill Manor car park. Go out onto the road and turn right. Look out for traffic as there is no footpath. After 300 metres you will be back at waypoint [1].
