A magnificent trail showcasing the world-famous Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
From £500 per person
The Cotswold Way covers 102 miles along the western edge of the Cotswold Hills, from the old wool town of Chipping Campden to the historic city of Bath. Unlike our Circular Walks in the Cotswolds, the Cotswold Way cuts south along the Cotswold escarpment, showcasing varied terrain and unforgettable views from atop its heights.
Along its length, this walking holiday encounters tranquil woodlands and sheltered valleys dotted with welcoming towns, villages and hamlets. Each settlement boasts insights into the region’s fascinating past, while the surrounding landscapes also feature a wealth of historical landmarks such as hill forts, castles and ancient battle sites.
Dogs are welcome on select routes along this trail. Look for the pawprint icon when choosing your holiday.
We also organise trail running holidays along this route. Find out more.
From £855 per person
Walk all 103 miles of the world-renowned Cotswold Way National Trail.
Starting from Chipping Campden and finishing in the World Heritage-listed city of Bath, this trail proudly showcases the finest scenery, history, architecture and culture the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty has to offer.

“We enjoyed our holiday very much. It was a great experience in many ways. We saw beautiful places and met very nice people.”Ms Salasco, Italy
“We were slightly nervous about doing the Cotswold Way in November but with a little luck from the weather it turned out to be amazing. With autumn colours enhancing the views and carpets of yellow leaves in the forests the scenery was stunning. The many pubs had roaring fires and pretty Cotswold villages were putting up Christmas lights and decorations. The only hazard was the mud! Fun at times but definitely slowed us down.”Mrs. Brain, UK
“Lots of sights to see including buildings, villages etc though I missed some of the highlights. Luggage transfer worked perfectly and all accommodation was clean and tidy.”Mr Day, UK
“I’ve just arrived back home again after completing the Cotswolds Way yesterday. It was a great experience”Mr Rogiers, Belgium
