We walked the Cotswold Way in 10 days, averaging 10 miles a day. Daughter Molly (aged 9 at the start & 10 at the end) & son Woden (aged 8) were amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed the walk. We had 3 rest days in total. The weather was fantastic, only a tiny bit of drizzle on day 8, trainers were fine because the ground was so dry. Our highlights were the lovely views, gorgeous Cotswold buildings and walls, yummy treats in local supermarkets, great wildlife (a young deer, 3 squirrels, a rat eating an apple, beautiful butterflies), eating blackberries along the way, spotting planes heading to Bristol airport, finding a wild walnut. We were actually a bit sad to finish the walk because it had been so brilliant. We stayed with family near Wotton every night & they walked with us around Stinchcombe hill & golf course which was wonderful. Totally recommend the walk with children.
