A magnificent trail showcasing the world-famous Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
From £525 per person
The Cotswold Way covers 102 miles along the western edge of the Cotswold Hills, from the old wool town of Chipping Campden to the historic city of Bath. Unlike our Circular Walks in the Cotswolds, the Cotswold Way cuts south along the Cotswold escarpment, showcasing varied terrain and unforgettable views from atop its heights.
Along its length, this walking holiday encounters tranquil woodlands and sheltered valleys dotted with welcoming towns, villages and hamlets. Each settlement boasts insights into the region’s fascinating past, while the surrounding landscapes also feature a wealth of historical landmarks such as hill forts, castles and ancient battle sites.
We offer multiple holiday options along this trail. If you wish to experience the entire trail, simply select the first option from the list below.
Dogs are welcome on select routes along this trail. Look for the pawprint icon when choosing your holiday.
We also organise trail running holidays along this route. Find out more.

“Wonderful quirky towns, inns and people. Expansive views.”Mrs Jeffery, Australia
“Communications and arrangements were flawless, as also previously found. Thank you! Very happy with all my Contours walking holidays and am now deciding on one for 2022. Thank you!”Ms Sheetz, USA
“The arrangements by Contours were very good. Walking in the wettest March for 40-50 years though was hard as the tracks are extremely muddy in parts!”Dr Smith, UK
“I’ve just arrived back home again after completing the Cotswolds Way yesterday. It was a great experience”Mr Rogiers, Belgium
“Great countryside, with the first half being more dramatic than the second. The heat proved a challenge, but that's not within Contours' control! Myself and my friends have used Contours on many occasions, and are happy to continue to do so.”Mr Wilkinson, UK
“Pretty much perfect. For those that love walking it would be silly not to walk the Cotswold Way.”Mr Tupper, UK
“We have just completed our 9th walking holiday with Contours - Cotswold Way, Sept 2021. Again another good itinerary with pleasant accommodation and reliable baggage transfers. We had 11 days of glorious sunshine which added to yet another memorable holiday. Thank you Contours. We are already looking forward to taking on the East Highland Way & Speyside Way in May 2022.”Mr Evans, UK
“Great walk. Contours has a very smooth operation and the only time we needed to phone for help we were very well, and speedily, looked after. If we decide to do another supported walking holiday then we will certainly check Contours out first.”Mrs Maddison, UK
“We were very grateful that you agreed to arrange a bespoke holiday for us. We do have experience of other walking holiday companies and had no issues of real concern arise during our holiday.”Ms Craig, UK
