Willing walkers have helped raise a large sum of money at an annual charity event.

Around 90 people took part in the Hike for Home-Start Cotswolds at Cripps Barn near Bibury.

The walk incorporated land not normally open to the public, after local landowners gave their consent.

A total of £1,900 was raised for the charity, which provides support for families with young children.

Organiser and trustee Carolyn Ford said: ‘We’re thrilled by the enthusiasm of our walkers.

"It’s so important that Home-Start is there for parents during a child’s early years, because they have the biggest impact on their development.

"So thank you to everyone who came and supported this event, to Cripps Barn and also our amazing volunteers."
