The Complete Cotswolds

The Cotswolds has a very special place for us here at Foot Trails. With family roots and connections to the region, we’ve walked and explored the land here our whole lives. 

This walking tour celebrates the Cotswolds region in all its glory, from bustling market towns built on the wealth of the wool industry through the undulating Cotswolds countryside with its quaint villages and farms to the edge of the Cotswolds escarpment with its stunning hilltop views. All before arriving on foot to the city of Bath and its Georgian splendour.
