The old Leckhampton has been swallowed up by the spread of Cheltenham. Your walk passes along Leckhampton Hill, a fine stretch of the Cotswold ridge offering views across Cheltenham and out to the Malvern Hills. Look out for the Devil’s Chimney. The edge along here was rigorously quarried at the end of the 18th century to build the nearby spa town, and the Devil’s Chimney is a tall rock pinnacle left behind by the diggers. Local tradition has livelier explanations, of course, including one that says it’s a chimney in the roof of Hell.
