We started walking the Cotswold Way in May 2024, tackling it section by section, and have loved every mile of the journey. The beautiful villages, stunning countryside and, of course, the essential pit stops for coffee, cake and the occasional well earned pint have made every walk memorable.

It’s been a brilliant way to explore more of our local area, and we feel incredibly lucky to have such an amazing National Trail right on our doorstep. We’ve even managed to carry Archie and his rather peculiar sense of humour for all 100+ miles, which has certainly kept things entertaining (or at least given us plenty to roll our eyes at!).

Now that we’ve completed it, we’re already wondering… is it time to turn around and do it all again in reverse?
