From Spa Changing Rooms, there are many local walks which take in the picturesque village of Lower Slaughter, or a circuit of the perimeter of the Abbotswood Estate (which is immediately behind Spa Changing Rooms). There is also a dedicated footpath up the gentle incline to Stow on the Wold (3/4 mile).
