Twice-yearly reading from Cotswolds National Landscape on the places, people, and paths of the Cotswolds.
The Cotswold Lion is produced by the Cotswolds National Landscape team twice a year. It covers arts, culture, and history; nature, conservation, and environment; local enterprise; walking and exploring; and seasonal guided walk highlights - useful context for anyone planning or remembering a Cotswold Way journey.
Recent issues range from nature recovery and climate stories to quieter corners of the landscape, film and photography projects, farming, and walking highlights. Past editions have marked milestones such as 50 years of the Cotswold Way and the anniversary of the Cotswolds as a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Browse the full archive of digital issues on the Cotswolds National Landscape site - currently more than thirty editions spanning from the late 2000s to the latest release. Each issue is available as a PDF for free download.
