We decided to complete the Way in 9 days so averaging about 11 miles a day which suited us well. We had varied weather but a great feeling of satisfaction arriving at Bath Abbey (in the wet!)

The Cotswolds Way was a brilliant adventure which we completed in 5 days with fairly little preparation. We were gifted with excellent weather which made for spectacular views. The route passes through lovely English villages so you're never too far from somewhere to grab a coffee, lunch or dinner and a well-earned beer at the end of each day. The route is brilliantly way marked throughout so navigation is super simple and the locals are very welcoming and approachable. All in all a very enjoyable experience. It's a great route for anyone wanting their first taste of multi-day hikes. Well done Fab, it was a pleasure. On to the next adventure!

We enjoyed generally favorable -- and sometimes spectacular -- weather as we covered the 102 miles in seven days.
A lovely walk and lovely people along the way.

Walked northwards from Bath in sections day by day whenever there was a suitable weather forecast.
Worth the drive out from Bucks and enjoyed every step (including the heatwave days)

A great well sign posted route, however do not get complacent as signs can be covered up by overgrown hedges etc and easy to miss. In general though a very well maintained trail, thanks to the hard work of all those who look after it. I was lucky enough to have dry hot sunny days for the whole walk.

Finished the Cotswold Way Bath to Chipping Camden direction, after a drawn out time period due to the covid restrictions. I started in June 2019 with some others associated with the Christian Walking Club. Originally we did in linear stages, then moved to circular walks, I finished off a few sections on my own or friends. It's now given me the bug for long distance trails.
