Was absolutely amazing. I did it by myself to celebrate being 72 years and still able to do this kind of activity.

Chipping Campden>Broadway>Winchcombe>Charlton Kings>Birdlip>Painswick>Frocester>Wotton-under-Edge>Old Sodbury>Cold Ashton>Bath. We walked the entire distance, self-contained with small daypacks, lodging in Inns (Red Lion, Horse and Hound, White Hart, Royal George) B&B's (Tibbiwell Lodge, Frocester Stonehouse, Toghill House Farm), and Hotels (Cheltenham Park, Swan, Sodbury House, Parade Park). We used the train to access and return from London. The trek was a wonderful way for us to finish a Norwegian/Icelandic cruise taken with our son's family who returned to California upon disembarking. Cotswold highlights included: changing weather, green landscapes, the up and down, cool forests, farm animals, quaint villages, solitude and good health.

First long distance walk, loved every minute. In the company of my gorgeous wife, included our 20th Wedding Anniversary, and my wife's 60th. Fantastic adventure and lifelong memories

This was our first walking holiday and it was the most amazing experience. Walking for 8 days in spectacular countryside, beautiful weather and enjoying wonderful company with my much loved husband, Graham! It was a week to remember, new experiences, meeting new people and enjoying fresh air, exercise and relaxation! Would definitely recommend!

I walked the Cotswold Way in 8 days from Chipping Camden to Bath - and it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I met wonderful and kind-hearted people, I've seen beautiful landscape (very Hobbiton-like) and I learnt that I am able to push my boundaries a litte bit (if I want to). It was my first long-distance hike and now I am hooked! If you want to read more (I'm afraid it's only availabe in German) then visit my blog: https://walkingthecotswoldway.wordpress.com/

My father has completed Cotswold Way (twice- most recently at age 84!) What a wonderful time we had, and we can't wait to come back and do another trail!

Walked over 7 days, north to south. Booked through Macs Adventures, our fourth trip with them and again well organised. Some long hard days, weather sunny, rainy, misty, cloudy. But amazing all in all

Three ladies aged between 53 and 70 had a fantastic time on the Cotswold Way. We had sun and rain and spent a great deal of time changing from sunhats and glasses to wet weather gear. The walk was a little more challenging than expected but thoroughly worth it and we enjoyed every minute. Thank you for maintaining this walk so well.

Walked with my sister and friend an average of 10 miles per day over 10 days, staying in B&Bs and inns. Ideal walking weather, good gear and good company made it a holiday to remember. Chatted to lots of different people along the way and took hundreds of photographs. Well worth doing and already thinking about which walk to do next. The Cotswold Way will take some beating!!

I completed the Way in 4 days over 2 weekends, wild camping - not a relaxing pace, but great training for a 2 month trek in the Pyrenees. What a lovely walk - I would do it again, though at a relaxed pace and with a friend.

We started the walk on the 10th May 2014 and completed it in stages finishing on the 25th June 2016.
We are Jane & Colin Dittmer and Anne & Robin Cheyne and the walk has been a great opportunity as old friends to enjoy a few weekends away together. The walk was brilliant, the Cotswolds beauitiful and we enjoyed some excellent hospitality at B&Bs and restaurants along the way.
It took a while but that made the final achievement even more satisfying.
Thanks to the Cotswold Way team for looking after the walk so well.

It has been a great walk
