  • Enjoying a circular walk through the beautiful English countryside
  • Wandering through picturesque villages, gardens and ancient sites
  • Absorbing the atmosphere at the local markets in the towns you pass through
  • Staying in handpicked accommodation that offers a warm welcome
  • Revelling in the views from Broadway Tower over the surrounding countryside
This itinerary is ideal for those who prefer their adventure a little gentler and want time to discover the hidden Cotswolds. The walk takes you between the most beautiful villages in the Cotswolds and discover why the Cotswolds are a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The trail meanders through the beautiful rolling Cotswold countryside visiting honey coloured villages, historic houses, immaculate gardens and ancient sites. Your walk begins in Moreton-in-Marsh, a bustling market town with excellent rail links to London. Heading south through the classic Cotswold countryside you pass through a series of impossibly beautiful villages before you reach Bourton-on-the-Water, a Cotswold gem. The route then turns west to Winchcombe before looping back to Moreton-in-Marsh via Stanton, Broadway and Chipping Campden. Typical Cotswold cottages and villages, lush green countryside, historic houses, welcoming country pubs and inviting shops make the Cotswolds a walkers paradise and you are sure to fall in love with this magical corner of England.
