What’s it actually like to walk the Cotswold Way?

Stretching 102 miles from Chipping Campden to Bath, the Cotswold Way is a proper walking adventure.

It's a moderately challenging trail, with daily distances typically around 10–15 miles, depending on your itinerary.

We’re taking you along for the journey to show you what a day on the trail really looks like.

“The pastures, the history, the amazing people who worked at the hotels and restaurants, the food and definitely the sheep!”

Because a great trip isn’t just about the miles its also the landscapes along the way, the history you discover, the brilliant local people you meet, the places you stay and, of course, the food waiting at the end of a good day outdoors!

Whilst we can’t take credit for the sheep, we’re so thrilled to receive reviews like this from guests after their time exploring England with us.

A huge thank you to our guest for sharing such kind words.

For first-time cycling visitors to the UK, the Cotswolds are hard to beat.

Rolling hills, quiet country lanes and plenty of reasons to get off the bike along the way.

Ride between golden-stone villages, stop for coffee in a market town, climb to a view, then find a good pub for lunch. Oh, and ice cream!

This is rural England at its best, with centuries of history sitting right alongside some seriously enjoyable cycling.

Nothing beats hearing that our guests are having the best week of their year!

From unforgettable guides and cosy country pubs to spectacular views, perfectly planned routes and those "I can't believe this is England" moments... it's exactly why we do what we do.

To everyone who's taken the time to leave us a review – thank you. It means the world to our team (and yes, we definitely read every single one!).

Now... who's joining us on a tour soon?

In the Cotswolds, a place to stay is never just a place to sleep.

It’s the honey-stoned inn at the end of a winding lane. The country house with stories in its walls. The cosy room above the village pub, where the local's know the best pint, and that day’s adventures are slowly becoming tomorrow’s favourite memories.

And then there are the experiences you only find when you know where to look.

A garden gate opened just for you. A local expert sharing their craft. A peek behind the curtains leading to a view most visitors never see.

We don’t just take you through the Cotswolds. We hike and bike you to its heart - pairing stays full of character with experiences that feel unmistakably unique and local.

There’s no doubt about it, when autumn is in full swing, the UK looks absolutely superb.

As summer slips away, the British countryside transfigures into a shock of reds, yellows, and oranges as the trees and forests change colour.

Where best to see the fall colours? The Cotswolds are a must – specifically the Westonbirt Arboretum - Forestry England in Tetbury – so too is the Lake District, where there’s no better sight than the russet colours reflected in the water.
