This website provides official information to help you prepare safely and get the best from your time on the Cotswold Way.
Hiking
The National Trail is waymarked for walkers from Chipping Campden to Bath—plan stages around villages, steep escarpment climbs, and wide views along the ridge.
Cycling
Much of the signed route is footpath-only; quiet lanes and bridleways elsewhere in the Cotswolds link the same towns and viewpoints for day rides and touring.
Horse riding
Bridleways and byways cross the hills and valleys; choose routes open to horses and be considerate where walkers use narrow path sections of the trail itself.
Travel
Find railway stations, bus links, and car park information for both trail ends.
