The Cotswold Way

This 100-mile (160-km) route is Britain's newest National Trail and was officially launched in May 2007. Starting in the picturesque village of Chipping Camden it takes the walker through a landscape of steep escarpments, bare plateaux and wooded valleys, passing a number of important historical sites en route, before descending into the Severn Valley and ending at the city of Bath. Whether you are walking the trail from end to end or exploring a part of it, you will find this easy-to-use guide indispensable. Anthony Burton is the author of over fifty books including two other National Trail Guides.
