Fodor's Expert Review Belas Knap Long Barrow

Winchcombe Cemetery

A bracing 2-mile walk south of Winchcombe on the Cotswold Way, one of Britain's national walking trails, leads to the hilltop site of Belas Knap, a Neolithic long barrow, or submerged burial chamber, above Humblebee Wood. During Victorian excavations, the remains of 31 people were found in the barrow's chamber. The site isn't much to see, but you hike through one of the most enchanting natural domains in England, with views stretching over to Sudeley Castle.
