Cotswold Way / Hiking
12 DAYS

This charming walk meanders along the western edge of the Cotswold Hills from the beautiful old 'wool' town of Chipping Campden to the historic city of Bath through a landscape of upland sheep pastures, rolling cornfields, steep escarpments with far-reaching views, woodland and sheltered valleys concealing picturesque villages built from mellow honey-colored stone.

The trail visits many delightful villages and towns each with some memorable feature like the grotesque gargoyles of Winchcombe's church, the neat rose-covered cottages at Stanton, Stanway's thatched cricket pavilion and enormous tithe barn, the elegant Pittville Pump Room at Cheltenham and Painswick's churchyard with its topiary yews and unusual tea caddy and table tombs. The Cotswold Way is also a walk through England's history with numerous prehistoric barrows and hillforts, Roman villas, Civil War battle sites, castles and abbeys as well as the grand manor houses and magnificent churches built when England's wealth was founded on Cotswold wool.

This self-guided walking tour is clearly marked and easy to follow with the aid of the guidebooks and maps provided.
