The boundary between Cowley Parish to the SE (including Birdlip) and Badgeworth (NE) runs along the lip of a very steep escarpment. The inscription would have been C M 1857 like others along the same ridge. See Link Inscription: ?85? Milestone Society National ID: GL_BADCOW03pb

A junction of paths

The right of way on the left passing through the gate is the route of the Gloucestershire Way, alternatively there is a right of way on the right which eventually rejoins the Gloucestershire Way.

A junction of rights of way

Continuing along this right of way passes Cuckoopen Barn Farm. The path on the left, out of view is the route of the Gloucestershire Way. This is almost exactly the same view as when I was last here almost fourteen years ago to the day SO9515 : Footpath junction near Coberley.
