Journey Across The Cotswolds

Trail highlights include

• Enjoy the tapestry of the Cotswolds landscapes; tranquil, breathtaking and centuries old.
• Meander through picture perfect villages where the pace is slow and you will be greeted with a warm local smile.
• Discover the spiritual heart of The Cotswolds and it’s ‘Cathedral’.
• 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.

• Include a visit to the stunning Chastleton House.

The Cotswolds

Journey Across The Cotswolds takes place in the heart of The Cotswolds, between Cirencester, Stow-on-the-Wold and Burford, and to the north too, towards Chipping Campden.

Getting here is easy, the most convenient train station for arrivals is Moreton in Marsh but we will give you more details depending on where your customised trail starts and ends. Its about a 2 hour car journey from London and around 1 hour from Birmingham.

The suggested international airport is London Heathrow which offers an easy transfer to London Paddington. You could also arrive to Birmingham, Bristol or other London airports depending on your start point.

Personally chosen country inns

When Alison created Foot Trails one of founding principles was our belief in good authentic accommodation. We work with country inns & pubs in local villages that all provide excellent accommodation and award winning food. We have consistent standards, not a small B&B one night, a hotel another and a pub another. Most of our country inns & pubs are award winning hosts for their accommodation and food.

We believe inns & pubs are the true experience of being in the countryside of England – 100’s of years old, part of their community and with a relaxed and comfortable feel. They are not hotels, but the bedrooms are just as good, if not better, the food is certainly better and the atmosphere local and genuine. Alison personally selects the inns, staying & eating at each one regularly to be certain they are places we wish our guests to stay. You are in for a real treat!

We will give you all the details on where you are staying before you decide on your booking and make any deposit.
