The Cotswold Way

A 102-mile National Trail along the western edge of the Cotswolds, from Chipping Campden in the north to Bath in the south.

About

The Cotswold Way follows the limestone escarpment for the length of the National Landscape, taking in Broadway Tower, Sudeley, Painswick Beacon, and a sequence of long views west towards the Severn and the Welsh hills.

Most through-walkers take seven to ten days; the trail also breaks naturally into a dozen day-walks of 6–12 miles each, well-served by buses at either end. Waymarked in both directions.

In Chipping Campden

An unbroken curve of honey-stone houses on a single high street, and the official starting point of the Cotswold Way.
