Cotswolds
At Foot Trails we have a huge passion for the Cotswolds. Alison and David Howell’s families have a long history to this area. Many of Alison’s family farm in the county. So with intimate local knowledge we’d love to show you everything that is wonderful about the Cotswolds.
We’ve designed walking trips and tours to take you off the beaten track so you can be sure to find villages and views that are quiet and little known.
