Trail description
The full Cotswold Way National Trail, 162.7 km with 3,029 m of climb from the Market Hall in Chipping Campden to Bath Abbey. It follows the western edge of the Cotswold escarpment, with views west towards the River Severn and the Malvern Hills, past Broadway Tower, Hailes Abbey and the Neolithic Belas Knap long barrow, through Cotswold-stone villages and down into Bath. The route mixes field paths, woodland and some steep climbs and is well waymarked; the National Trail suggests about 10 days. Wild camping is not allowed, so walkers use campsites or other accommodation.
