The Cotswolds is the largest Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in England and Wales with an area of some 770 square miles. |
|
Walks over the gentle rolling wolds require little effort yet produce enormous rewards with views to the Malvern Hills, Severn Valley and the Forest of Dean. Attractive hidden villages built with honey coloured cotswold stone, thatched roofs and floral gardens with intriguing names like The Swells, The Slaughters and Paradise, frequently appear on picture calendars. |

Our walks will take you to some of these places off the beaten track, alongside gentle meandering rivers such as the Coln and Windrush. |
|
Walking along ancient tracks, some Roman and some salt roads we pass ancient burial mounds (long barrows), evidence of old farming techniques, the remains of the wool and silk industry that was once so important to this area. There are many fine manor houses with extensive parkland, churches and Roman remains. The rolling landscape and quiet wooded valleys are a haven for the wildlife. |
|
We have an extensive range of walking holidays in the Cotswolds. |
|
For those who want no more than a couple of days enjoying a short break we can offer a selection of about 20 walks in various locations throughout this area. These are priced at just £99 per person for 2days/2nights. |
|
Those who require a short break with a difference can try the Cotswold Gardens break or the Steam Railway break on the Gloucestershire and Warwickshire Railway. |

|
The Monarch's Way in the Cotswolds follows a route that visits many of the popular villages as well as some of the lesser known locations. It is a very attractive walk in its own right starting from Mickleton in the north and walking through the heart of the Cotswolds to Tetbury. |
