Short profile:
COTSWOLD WALKING HOLIDAYS was founded in 1992 by Christopher Knowles and is managed by Ann Knowles and Andrew Guppy. The company remains the leading walking and hiking specialist in the Cotswolds. Our knowledge of the area and its paths, tracks and byways is unrivalled - and much imitated.
The chief glory of the area lies in its villages - gems of vernacular architecture that developed out of the medieval wool trade and which have survived unspoilt into the 21st century. But there is much more in this area of unexpected contrasts.
Marvellous views from the Cotswold escarpment; countryside that is a happy compromise between man and nature; some of England's finest churches; country houses, Neolithic barrows, ruined abbeys, gothic follies, magnificent gardens and even a substantial industrial heritage - and all best seen on foot. In between these delights, you'fll also find plenty of good pubs serving local beers and excellent food!
Detailed description:
By following our detailed walking tours, each night you stay in good standard Bed & Breakfast accommodation in a charming Cotswold village or town offering a wide range of pubs and restaurants. We hope that you will find something to suit you here. Remember also that the Cotswold area is well-located for visiting Oxford, Bath and Stratford, not to mention the Forest of Dean, the Wye Valley and beyond. Above all, while there is plenty for the experienced walker, the Cotswolds can be walked by people of almost any age and level of fitness. We provide easy to follow route instructions and maps. The walks are also available using the services of local experienced guides. Please contact us if you would like to make use of this service.
If you wish to extend your holiday, extra nights at any point along the route can be arranged at the time of booking. For example, many people like to spend an extra night in Chipping Campden in order to visit Stratford-on-Avon; Moreton-in-Marsh to visit Oxford; or Cheltenham, Painswick or Cirencester to visit Bath. Similarly you may wish to walk just part of one of our self-guided tours and we are happy to organise an itinerary to suit your requirements. Our self-guided holidays vary in duration according to your wishes. Accommodation is in twin (two single beds) or double rooms (one double bed) in excellent Bed & Breakfast guest houses, inns or hotels to include breakfast and (according to which tour you choose) private bathrooms. There is no need to worry about your luggage as this will be transported from place to place for you each day.
We provide easy-to-follow route instructions and maps based on our own exhaustive searches for the best and most scenic routes. The walks are also available using the services of local, experienced guides. Please contact us if you would like to use this service. If you wish to organise your own groups, we can provide an experienced guide.
