The Cotswolds walks listed below range from easy circular walks to more demanding hill walks. All walks are free to download and print. The routes cover the many highlights in this beautiful part of England passing through attractive villages, offering the opportunity to visit a stately home and giving you time to enjoy the outstanding rural scenery.
The Cotswolds covers a huge area – almost 800 square miles – and runs through five counties (Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Warwickshire, Wiltshire and Worcestershire). One of the delights of visiting the Cotswolds is exploring the different areas, each with its own identity, yet all with those defining Cotswold features: golden stone and rolling hills, the ‘wolds’.
