Less than 2 hours by train from bustling London, the Cotswolds epitomize the storied English countryside with its quaint villages, pastoral landscapes and historical allure. Nestled between Chipping Camden in the north and Bath, the rural nature of this corner of South West England offers some of the best English country walking.
Cotswold walking offers the chance to roam through rolling pastures housing flocks of lambs, and oak woodlands filled with bird songs and bluebell flowers. For North Americans it is important to note that English countryside walking is in fact moderate hiking, with daily mileages close to and often exceeding 10 miles per day. In the beautiful Cotswolds, the rolling elevations allow for pleasant and non-technical yet still moderate hiking. With multi-day walking or hiking, each night is spent in a new location and luggage is transferred accordingly, hence the term ‘inn to inn’, however on our self-guided Cotswolds walking tours, these accommodations range from simple guesthouses to historic 5 star hotels and so much in between.
