Walk, Cycle And Tour The Cotswolds.

The Cotswolds extends over six separate Counties including Warwickshire, Wiltshire, Oxfordshire, Worcestershire, Gloucestershire and Somerset.  Starting at the village of Chipping Campden and finishing in Bath the Cotswolds Way stretches over 102 miles (164 km) and takes between seven and ten days to walk.  The route journeys through rolling pastures as you follow the western edge of the Cotswold Hills, past beech woodlands and honey-coloured villages built from Cotswold stone.  The Cotswolds is classified as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and your walk will take you past grand, Stately Homes and Neolithic Burial Barrows, offering ever-changing views to the west towards the River Severn, the Malvern Hills and historic battle sites.  With bridleways and quiet country lanes galore, the Cotswolds is perfect for cyclists of all standards.  Even a novice rider can explore the breathtaking scenery, quintessentially British Villages, thriving market Towns and Cities on two wheels.  Probably the most comfortable and comprehensive way to experience the North or the South Cotswolds is to take one of the Cotswolds Private Tours on offer from a local, professional, experienced Tour Operator such as cotswoldtour.co.uk/cotswolds-private-tours.  Including a friendly, knowledgeable driver and a luxury car your bespoke Tour can include visiting specific villages such as Bourton-on-the-Water, Bibury, Upper and Lower Slaughter and Shipton-under-Wychwood, as well as incorporating activities you’ve always wanted to try.  Maybe the Falconry Centre with over 150 birds of prey, is on your wish list or you could visit the filming location of the hit Amazon TV show Clarkson’s Farm, Diddly Squat Farm Shop.
