Walking the Cotswold Way was truly the trip of a lifetime for all of us. Each day a new adventure, enjoying the spectacular views from above, the abundance of wildflowers, from wild garlic to buttercups, and the delightful people we met along the way. Everyone we encountered was wonderfully welcoming, inquisitive about our journey, and so genuinely charming, that I believe chatting with fellow walkers became one of the unexpected highlights of our trip. I cannot say enough about the breathtakingly beautiful countryside… other than that I definitely want to return.
