Cotswolds Walking Tour
Cotswolds, United Kingdom
Why Walk Cotswolds
The Cotswolds is a range of gentle hills in central England where villages built of warm golden limestone seem to grow from the landscape itself. Wealthy medieval wool merchants built the churches and manor houses, and the region has changed remarkably little since. Villages like Bourton-on-the-Water, Bibury, Castle Combe, and Broadway offer a vision of rural England at its most picturesque.

The Cotswolds requires a car to explore properly — villages are spread across the hills with limited public transport. Base yourself in one village and drive between them.
Best Time to Visit
