The Jacobean gatehouse of Stanway House stands next to the church
The lane winds in front of the church and past the fanciful south gate-
house of Stanway House (grid ref: 061323). A few paces beyond this you
leave the lane by a large yew tree and turn left. A narrow footpath takes
you left of a blacksmith's workshop and the remains of a watermill, crosses
a small meadow and brings you onto the B4077. Go left for about 40
metres, then head to the right on a continuation of the Cotswold Way
along a path enclosed by a hedge and a fence containing a plantation.
This path soon entices across low-lying fields towards the hamlet of
Wood Stanway. (Stanway, which you have just left, is sometimes known
as Church Stanway to avoid confusion.) Behind and above the hamlet runs
the Cotswold skyline on which you can see a line of individual trees. The
route eventually angles up to the left-hand end of these.
