ACTIVITY 2: For a matchless view over the town, catch bus no.606 out to Southam, one mile north of Prestbury village on the B4632, and follow the public footpath east up the sheer face of the Cotswold escarpment to the top of Cleeve Common.
The summit, known as Cleeve Cloud, is the highest point along the Cotswold escarpment (1083 feet, 330 metres).
To round off the walk, head north along the ridge to Cleeve Hill, from where you can pick up buses back into town via the main road.
