Tour Overview

When you conjure up thoughts of the English countryside, your mind fills with images of rolling hills, quaint villages, old traditional pubs, and stepping through time with history. Walking the Cotswold Way does that and more. There are very few places in the UK where in a relatively small area you can encounter Neolithic (Stone Age), Iron Age, Roman, Anglo-Saxon, Norman, Tudor, English Civil War and the Industrial revolution history, sometimes all in one day of walking! The Cotswold Way walks past a treasure trove of ancient Neolithic burial mounds, Iron Age hillforts, Roman villas, Norman churches, and of course houses and buildings built from the wealth from the wool trade. Covering 102 miles / 164 km, from Chipping Campden to Bath, it offers a superb way to take in the views, history and chocolate box villages in an achievable manner. The trail mostly follows an escarpment which is called the Cotswold Edge, or Scarp. When walking along the top of the Edge you will be treated to the most wonderful views reaching out as far as the Brecon Beacons in Wales.

Day 1 : Arrive Chipping Campden

Location: Chipping Campden

Make your way to the historic village of Chipping Campden. This village meaning ‘Cheap’ which was a derivative of the word market, certainly sets the bar high with being one of the prettiest villages that you will stay in along the way. It feels fitting to start the trail surrounded by rich, honey coloured houses and buildings, and sums up the Cotswolds beauty to a tee. It also features the finest church in the whole of the region, built from the proceeds of the wool industry. The high street is full of lovely boutique shops, and a host of drinking and dining options, ranging from tasty delis offering great local produce, pubs offering traditional British fare, to fine dining restaurants, all within a 100m stretch of high street.
Accommodation: The Volunteer Inn is a traditional old coaching inn dating back to the 17th century used to recruit volunteer mercenaries. It is located at the end of the high street opposite St Catherine’s Church on the corner of Hoo Lane where the Cotswold Way turns right off the high street.

Entering the tiny hamlet of Woody Stanway, there is a brief walk up and down the Cotswolds escarpment, passing an Iron Age hill fort called Beckbury Camp. This is called Cromwell’s Clump and supposedly where Thomas Cromwell sat and watched Haile’s Abbey being dissolved. Once off the escarpment there is a track leading off to a fruit farm which has a great little tea room and restaurant, as well as a farm shop. Next are the the ruins of pretty Hailes Abbey before the last few kilometres to Winchcombe. This small town was at one point the capital of Mercia and attracted pilgrims to an abbey now long gone. It has a large church built with the riches of the wool trade and beautiful 16th century townhouses built with local honey coloured limestone. It is described as the walker’s capital of the Cotswolds as other long distance routes intersect here.

A longer day involving the ascent to the highest point in the Cotswolds, Cleeve Hill 1,083 ft (330 m) with potentially great views as you will be mostly walking along the escarpment. After a steep initial climb, on the way is the impressive Belas Knap, an Iron age burial ground. From the escarpment, you descend through beautiful woodland, before climbing back finally to the top of Cleeve Hill. with spectacular views over Cheltenham and Bishop’s Cleeve as well as further away to the Brecon Beacons in Wales. It is a Site of Specific Scientific Interest (SSSI) due to its abundance of rare flora and fauna such as orchids, deer and birds of prey. You now keep the height walking past disused quarries which were used to gather the local stones for the houses below, and nature reserves with rare butterflies. The final section will see you dropping height though old woodland until you get to Dowdeswell Reservoir. The nearest accommodation from the trail is about 1km of walking down the London Road towards Cheltenham in the Village of Charlton Kings. Some accommodations are a couple of km further on and this distance is not included in the walk distance today as it varies. Cheltenham is a regency Spa town and is worth a visit even if you are tired, as it is full of interesting buildings, parks and restaurants.

Day 5 : Charlton Kings To Birdlip 11 Miles/18Km, 5 Hrs

Location: Cotswolds

Meals Included: Breakfast

Today starts with the climb up again to the top of the Cotswolds Scarp through Lineover Woods, which features ancient beech and lime trees. Once back on the escarpment (note that the distance today is from the Dowdeswell reservoir) you will find the going easy, although the trails can be muddy and slippery if it has been raining. You will see how prominent the escarpment is with a steep drop off your side. Eventually reach Leckhampton Hill - the site of one of several Iron-Age hillforts situated on top of the Scarp dotted along the length of the Cotswold Way. The hill was also an important quarry which supplied the limestone building material for Regency Cheltenham and the prominent Devil’s Chimney can be seen from where these quarries once were worked. Next some woodland walking brings you to Crickley Hill, which has a lovely café overlooking the Severn Vale. There is finally a bit of road walking to reach the accommodation in Birdlip.
Accommodation: Royal George Hotel. This old stone building is pretty much the only choice in the area, and the only pub in this tiny village. It has plenty of large rooms and serves some really well priced meals before 5pm. On Fridays, there is often a live band playing.

Day 6 : Birdlip To Painswick 7.5 Miles/12Km, 4 Hours

Location: Painswick

Meals Included: Breakfast

Returning to the trail from Birdlip, after the initial road walk join a nice wide woodland trail. After about 3.5km you will come to a sign towards the Great Witcombe Roman Villa. It is only a few hundred metres diversion, and well worth seeing. The trail then comes out into a tiny hamlet which is Cooper’s Hill and if you want to challenge yourself, you can walk up the hill itself, but it is incredibly steep, and you will wonder in awe how people run down it chasing cheeses! The actual trail skirts around the right of the hill at a slightly easier gradient. Walk through more lovely woodland and eventually reach the Painswick road where another short walk through the woods will bring you towards the Royal William Pub, at around lunchtime. The Cotswold Way then climbs to the top of the Painswick Beacon - another Iron Age hillfort - before descending into the town of Painswick shortly after. The town is often touted as the ‘Queen of the Cotswolds’ - the local stone is of a different hue almost ivory in colour in contrast to the honey coloured limestone that the Cotswolds is famous for.

Leaving the pretty suburbs of Painswick, the trail goes over pasture land and gradually works its way uphill to get back up onto the escarpment again and to a trig point at Haresfield Beacon with some spectacular views towards the Severn River, with the Forest of Dean and Brecon Beacons in the distance. You then walk around to the next obvious spur and into Standish Wood, which features ancient Beech Trees and a long barrow at the end of the wood. Exiting the forest, you head downhill towards the outskirts of Stroud, including a walk through a lovely vineyard. All of a sudden you will have to cross the main road leading into Stroud itself. Reaching a canal. There are two options here for walking into the town. Stroud sits at the bottom of five valleys and became the centre for the wool industry in the 15th century, and in the 18th century over 150 mills were all running which was powered by the rivers running from the valleys. Today it is known for its independent shops and restaurants, and so there is plenty to see when walking around the town.

Day 8 : Stroud To Wotton-Under-Edge 14 Miles/22.5 Km, 6.5-7 Hrs

Location: Stroud

Meals Included: Breakfast

The longest day of walking with the most ascent along the trail, but the spectacular views more than make up for it! Having negotiated the outskirts of Stroud, You will walk through the lovely village of Selsley, where the beautiful church was at the heart of the arts and crafts movement; the stained-glass windows were the first commission for William Morris. Further up onto Selsley Common, you will get the first of many superb views. You then have to head back down the Scarp and through pristine ancient woodland before gradually ascending again to Coaley Peak - another site of an Iron Age hillfort, and also that of Nympsfield Long Barrow, which is a 2500 BC Neolithic burial ground. This is a popular picnic spot as it presents a great vantage point of the Severn Vale but also of Cam Long Down where you will be heading to and Tynedale Monument in the distance. There follows a very short and sharp ascent up to Cam Long Down and you will then walk along the ridge towards Dursley and lunch at the Old Spot Inn is recommended. Almost instantly after the pub, you will have another short and sharp, steep climb back up. The trail then splits again for an alternative option, a longer walk which adds another 3 miles/ 4.5km to the route but more splendid views as you walk around the plateau including a visit to the Tynedale Monument, before a descent into Wotton - another important wool trading town.
Accommodation: The Swan Hotel is almost directly on the Cotswold Way through Wotton It is a large pub with a host of facilities. It certainly seems like the beating heart of the community, with a number of ensuite rooms.

Day 9 : Wotton-Under-Edge To Old Sodbury 12.5 Miles/20.5 Km, 5.5-6 Hours

Location: Old Sodbury

Meals Included: Breakfast

All our active holidays are graded and clearly marked in each trip description. All mountains have uphill and downhill sections and by definition walking and cycling demand some effort.

Few trips are extreme and most allow ample time for sightseeing and enjoying the scenery. If in doubt about the grade of any holiday, please contact us for advice or request the tour dossiers, you can also chat with our team about the right travel insurance for you.

  • Route notes

    While our tours vary in terms of difficulty, route finding is made simple and convenient with our specially prepared package of maps and route notes. On many of the walks it is easy enough to navigate carefully using the route notes provided with a cursory glance at the map. As holidays reach the higher grades, you will need to take more care and we would expect you to have at least some knowledge of using a compass. Maps for our tours also vary considerably, from up-to-date GPS referenced additions, to old map copies which may still be the only ones obtainable for a particular area. The differences in style, grade and destinations of our tours are features that make them of continual interest and delight to our walkers & cyclists. Each set of route notes can contain the following elements relevant to the route: History and information on the region and the route you are walking. Detailed maps including points of interest and accommodation. Detailed step-by-step descriptions (with pictures) of the route and information on detours/optional additions. Transport timetables and information for getting there and away. Safety information and advice. Contact details of accommodation, transport, local representatives and emergency support.

Our detailed Route Notes will contain all of the information you need to plan how you would like to approach each day, giving you the freedom to set your own pace. As you are not limited by the constraints of group travel, you are free to shorten or lengthen your walk as the terrain permits and can even take a day off, although you may need to travel onto your next accommodation by taxi or public transport in order to do so.

Great walk lots of ups and downs I would not rate this walk easy definitely medium plus. We didn’t use the GPS just followed the trail. Majority of the accommodation was great. You meet lots of friendly people on the path.. well worth doing. The English countryside side was amazing especially finishing in Bath.

Cotswold Way

28 Jul 2023

Walking the Cotswold Way was a brilliant idea. It took all the admin hassle out of the trip and meant we could concentrate on enjoying our holiday knowing that there would be a comfortable B&B or hotel at the end of the day, and that our bags would be there, courtesy of the Luggage Fairy! The accommodations all met our needs, some in a more luxurious manner than others, and the idiosyncrasies were all part of the adventure of the holiday!

Trina and the team have great customer care and service as part of their DNA. No request too hard or approach too difficult. Every aspect of the self guided walk went without a hitch. Great attitude, fabulous to talk to. I will keep on coming back!

A wonderful walk through the Cotswolds with incredible support! Great inns and B&B’s that made each day a pleasure. Some places were off track and added additional miles for the overall hike.

They always provide great service and great accommodations for our long distance walks. Because of Covid, our Cotswold Way walk was rescheduled several times, but we continued to work with a very patient and customer-focused Trina to finally “make it happen.” We were fully satisfied. It was a brilliant trip.
