A undulating and fabulous route through beautiful countryside and picturesque villages. My knees have since forgiven me after pushing myself to complete it over a total walking time of 38 hours over 3 and a half days. Couldn’t have completed it without the company from great friends and a support crew of my husband, children and nieces. Definitely a trail that is not to be missed.... Hoping to walk it again soon xxx

We walked the way from north to south, breaking the route down to twelve stages. Favourite spots included Broadway Tower, Dovers Hill, Cleeve Hill and Coopers Hill. As we moved further south, Haresfield Beacon, Cowley Peak and Dodington Park were all particularly memorable. On the final day, during a twelve hour deluge of rain, we arrived the Abbey bedraggled but with a real sense of achievement!

This was our first long distance walk and we both thoroughly enjoyed walking The Cotswold Way. The weather was very good and the Cotswolds are beautiful. We would recommend this walk to everyone.

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.

We have had a great experience walking the Cotswold Way over the past year. We have walked it as 3 families with a variety of health conditions making it a bit of a challenge but we have kept each other going and the odd extra straggler joined us at points. We have had good weather every time we have walked and we have found some amazing places near our homes that we didn't even know existed. Our walks around the 6 miles in length with the longest we did being 7.5 miles and the shortest being 5 miles but it suited our abilit. Walking together has brought us all closer together and we are looking forward to our next walking challenge. We have also found some amazing eateries along the route.

We walked the Cotsvold Way from north to south in seven stages. Beautiful weather with just three hours of rain throughout our walk. We met a lot of friendly people and we saw many beautiful views and picturesque villages. We appreciated the quietness of the countryside and the arrival in Bath was great. We were happy to have reached our final destination with plenty of nice memories.

Beautiful part of England. Lots of hills, long days walking with a backpack in the sunshine and feeling pretty weary when our accommodation was finally reached each evening. Lots of highlights and a great sense of achievement when we reached Bath.
