ABOUT THE COTSWOLDS WALKING & CYCLING TOURS
ABOUT: Exploring the Cotswolds on Foot
The Cotswold landscape is an entrancing mixture of parkland, cultivated fields with dry-stone walls of Jurassic limestone and patches of unspoilt woodland.
With almost all of the cottages, farmhouses and villages passed on this walking holiday made of stone, the scenery blends with the structures creating a delightful fusion of natural and man-made beauty.
Stay in a selection of quality, independent B&B’s and guesthouses whose hosts welcome you each evening. With straightforward route finding & good walking conditions, this is a perfect introduction to hiking in the English countryside.

ABOUT: The Cotswold Way
When you conjure up thoughts of the English countryside, your mind fills with images of rolling hills, quaint villages, old traditional pubs, and stepping through time with history.
Walking the Cotswold Way does that and more. There are very few places in the UK where in a relatively small area you can encounter Neolithic (Stone Age), Iron Age, Roman, Anglo-Saxon, Norman, Tudor, English Civil War and the Industrial revolution history, sometimes all in one day of walking!
The Cotswold Way walks past a treasure trove of ancient Neolithic burial mounds, Iron Age hillforts, Roman villas, Norman churches, and of course houses and buildings built from the wealth from the wool trade. Covering 102 miles / 164 km, from Chipping Campden to Bath, it offers a superb way to take in the views, history and chocolate box villages in an achievable manner. The trail mostly follows an escarpment which is called the Cotswold Edge, or Scarp. When walking along the top of the Edge you will be treated to the most wonderful views reaching out as far as the Brecon Beacons in Wales.

ABOUT: The Cotswolds by Bike
This holiday is intended to appeal to those who want a gentle introduction to cycling in the English countryside, as the Cotswold’s are hilly rather than mountainous. A week of marvelous rides will take you through one of the most beautiful and historic parts of England.
Honey coloured stone villages, open wolds, wooded valleys and Roman roads are the background to pretty villages, “wool” churches, famous gardens, a Roman villa and welcoming inns. Your tour starts in elegant Cheltenham with its Regency buildings, beautiful gardens, and fashionable centre. Then a delightful ride takes you over the top of the Wolds and through Duntisbournes, crossing the River Dunt’s pretty fords.
On the final day you will visit the historic 15th century Snowshill Manor, take lunch at Broadway and enjoy the wonderful views from Broadway Tower. In the afternoon you can visit Sudley Castle once home to three of Henry VIII’s wives, Katherine Parr, Ann Boleyn and Lady Jane Grey. Finally, free wheel down Cleeve Hill back to Cheltenham.
