Brilliant ! Really loved the experience, people and sights. I did it solo and wild camped 4 nights, bnb 1 night. I should have done it over more than 5 days, it was hot and some days were really tough to get the miles done. Still extremely enjoyed it!! Also would be better with family and friends.

I ran/ walked the Cotswold Way with my Springer Spaniel Isla. We had amazing weather and would thoroughly recommend the route. She dictated a blog along the way: https://islacw0.Wordpress.com

We hiked from Chipping Campden to Bath. We are so thrilled to have done this hike. I was enthralled, overwhelmed, gobsmacked by the beauty of the countryside and the villages. Everyone we met was so extremely kind. We have been so blessed by this adventure. It was my first time to England. Somedays the hike was hard, but it was always worth it.

What an absolute privilege to hike in this wonderful landscape.
We've been walking on sunshine all the way to Bath.
A big thank you to all the volunteers who keep these paths so well maintained.
And to the landowners who grant us the public rights of way.
"Pepsi & Shirlie": it was so much fun hanging out with you two!

We were very fortunate to have beautiful weather in mid-May when the woods and fields were filled with birds and blooming flowers. A glorious walk.

A lovely walk in the divine Nature. I shared the mindfulness lessons I learnt on this walk on the YouTube channel 'Let The Lotus Bloom'.

The Cotswold scenery is spectacular. We had some layover days so we could experience some of the local towns. The trail is well maintained and mostly easy to find. Trail markings are good, with only one or two questionable places. Accommodations were extremely good. The people we met along the Way and in towns were friendly and helpful. I recommend using the FarOut app for exact route finding.

Hiked the whole route starting in Chipping Campden over the course of a week. A gorgeous trail in the springtime with meadows full of wildflowers and wonderful views from the escarpment. First proper time spent in the Cotswolds and also first proper multi-day hike, a great introduction to both.

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!)
