The Stroud WAS Way was created by Debbie Hewitt and first walked in the 2007 Stroud Walking Festival.

It follows the town parish border, crossing all five of the Valleys: Frome (or Golden or Chalford), Nailsworth, Ruscombe, Painswick and Slad.

Its ten-mile looped route uses public footpaths, pavements and roads, during which you will accumulate 1,500ft of ascent.

The hills to the north can be steep and muddy; the canal towpath to the south is flat and generally good underfoot.

Le chemin de Compostelle traverse le département des Deux-Sèvres sur près de 61 kilomètres, offrant aux pèlerins et randonneurs une immersion au cœur d’un territoire authentique. Avec un dénivelé positif de 456 mètres, le parcours reste accessible tout en ménageant quelques reliefs doux qui rythment la marche. Entre bocages verdoyants, villages pittoresques et chemins bordés de haies, cette portion invite à la découverte d’un patrimoine naturel et culturel riche, marqué par l’histoire des pèlerins qui l’ont empruntée depuis des siècles.

Cerro La Polvadera is 3,738 meters high and can be accessed from the Yerba Loca Nature Sanctuary (photo 1) or from La Parva Ski Center (photo 2).

It is approximately 7 kilometers to the summit via any of the routes.

From its summit, you can see the great mountains to the north, such as La Paloma, El Altar, and El Plomo.
