The Five Valleys are a group of valleys in Gloucestershire, England, which converge on the town of Stroud at the western edge of the Cotswolds. The valleys are as follows: * The Chalford valley (also known as the "Golden Valley") * The Nailsworth Valley * The Ruscombe Valley * The Slad Valley (of ''Cider with Rosie'' fame) * The Painswick Valley The Five Valleys Walk is a popular circular walk of some 21 miles around Stroud. It has been held annually since 1987, in aid of the Stroud-based Meningitis Trust, usually on the last Sunday in September. A more exacting version of this walk has also been published, as the "Five Valleys Circuit" (see Barry Hill, ''Walking the South Gloucestershire Cotswolds'', pp. 100–116); this includes an ascent over the high ground of Selsley Common rather than the charity walk's low-level route from Stonehouse to Nailsworth, up the old railway line by the Nailsworth Stream. ==References== *Hill, Barry ''Walking the South Gloucestershire Cotswolds'', Thornhill Press (Cheltenham) 1992 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Five Valleys」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
