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.

“Had a great time.”Mr Bone, USA
“This was a wonderful walk enjoyed by all in our party. We were lucky with the weather with just a couple of showers on the first two days and then dry weather but not too hot (unlike this week!). There are some very steep climbs and a couple of long days but manageable. The arrangements for transfers worked well and directions to accommodations straightforward. Good and varied accommodation, great views, lovely area.”Mr Mowforth, UK
“We loved the walk. We are very happy with the service Contours provided.”Mr Thompson, USA
“We were very grateful that you agreed to arrange a bespoke holiday for us. We do have experience of other walking holiday companies and had no issues of real concern arise during our holiday.”Ms Craig, UK
“Great views, interesting sites, good accommodation.”Dr Mansfield, UK
“Despite every kind of weather imaginable...snow, rain, heavy wind, some sun...we did enjoy it.”Ms Millard, France
“The arrangements by Contours were very good. Walking in the wettest March for 40-50 years though was hard as the tracks are extremely muddy in parts!”Dr Smith, UK
“Pretty much perfect. For those that love walking it would be silly not to walk the Cotswold Way.”Mr Tupper, UK
“After three days I forgot what day it was. Totally relaxed.”Mr Shalay, Canada
