Best of The Cotswolds Self-Guided Tour

The best loved villages of The Cotswolds

THE BEST OF THE COTSWOLDS

SELF GUIDED TOUR -

5 NIGHTS / 4 DAYS WALKING OR 9 NIGHTS / 8 DAYS WALKING

Designated as "an area of outstanding natural beauty," the Cotswolds are just 100 miles west of London. Steeped in history, its tiny villages of honey-colored limestone abound with thatched cottages that cluster around spired churches. Our self guided walking tour will allow you to experience this, on foot!

This superbly picturesque countryside of rolling meadows and beech forests lends itself to our gentlest series of walks, 7.5 to 11 miles daily, with quite modest elevation changes.

At the end of each day you will arrive at our carefully selected B&B’s, hotels, inns and guesthouses along the trail, or a short distance away via taxi provided at our expense.

Visits to charming and sleepy villages all with the architecturally pleasing honey-colored limestone houses.

Spanning nearly 800 square miles of some of the most beautiful countryside in England, the Cotswolds have a timeless appeal. With its delightfully picturesque limestone villages, it looks as if time has stood still in the Cotswolds. The gentle hillsides ('wolds') ooze tranquility and the iconic image of a sheep grazing amidst the lush green hills can easily be seen while rambling from village to village.
