Complete Cotswolds, Chipping Campden to Bath

Custom made & crafted English walking

Your walking holiday/vacation will be tailored to suit your requirements and the English season. This tour is available any nights (subject to availability) from 8 nights to 15 nights, from March to November. We recommend booking early as our trips are popular and availability at our small country inns, limited.

Trail highlights include:

* Chipping Campden with its magnificent architecture and 100 year old connection to the Arts and Crafts movement including book binding and jewelry making
* Enjoy the tapestry of the Cotwolds landscapes; tranquil, breathtaking and centuries old.
* Admire Stow on the Wold, the highest market town in the Cotswolds with its independent shops and cafes
* Walk with the Romans and explore one of England’s best loved villas. This 2,000 year old legacy is a wonderful example of the ingenuity, creativity and presence bestowed to us by the Romans during the peak of the Empire.
* Meander picture perfect villages where the pace is slow and you will be greeted with a warm local smile.
* Bath. It would be a travesty to visit the West Country. At every corner you are treated to spectacular architecture and it really is a special place to happen upon having enjoyed the treats of the surrounding countryside.

One of the reasons guests choose Foot Trails is for our choice and quality of accommodation.

Largely independently and privately owned, we enjoy a close and strong working partnership with all of our country inns. Small, personal and friendly with excellent hospitality, each country inn sits in an English village with comfortable bedrooms and delicious local food and produce including real ales and a selection of wines to enjoy with dinner after your walk.

Every inn and bedroom is uniquely designed and all our bedrooms have en-suite private bathrooms with modern facilities.

On the Complete Cotswolds trip all of the accommodation is in personally chosen country pubs and country inns, many award winning, from 16th century former cider houses, to country pubs on village greens with a duck pond, to a riverside country inn with garden. Other stays include a grade II listed, Camra (campaign for real ale) winning pub and a combined pub, restaurant and hotel set in the former heart of The Cotswolds wool trade.
