The Cotswold Way National Trail is a scenic, undulating route through quiet Cotswold countryside following the ridge through the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) via the villages of Broadway, Winchcombe, Dursley and Wotton-under-Edge.
An attractive and popular trail that offers beautiful rural surroundings with facilities and services always near to hand.
The low limestone hills and agricultural valleys should cause no problems for anyone who is reasonably fit, but there are a few steep slopes, rising to the highest point at Cleeve Hill (highest in the whole of the Cotswolds) near Winchcombe (330m/1,083ft).
Some paths can be muddy or hazardous in winter and boots are recommended.
The Cotswolds Way together with the Cross-Cotswold Pathway and Cotswold Link, forms part of the Cotswold Round, a a 331km/207-mile circuit of the Cotswolds.
The walk is claimed to be the best marked trail in England.
