    The route meanders through the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, one of the best-loved regions of lowland Britain. The path follows the Cotwolds down their western edge with dramatic and far-reaching views across the Severn Vale towards the Welsh hills. Beginning in handsome Chipping Campden, not only does the route explore the sheep-grazed escarpment, it plunges down the scarp slope on numerous occasions to visit the honey-coloured villages and old market towns for which the district is justly famed, and ends in the World Heritage City of Bath. This new edition takes account of improvements made to the route for its launch as a National Trail, and is the perfect companion to a memorable long walk.

    Besides being great aerobic exercise, the walks are also lessons in history, architecture, and nature.

    The routes range from extended strolls to exhilarating hikes, so there is something for everyone.
