Walking England's Ancient Limestone Edge

The Cotswold Way spans 102 miles along a dramatic limestone escarpment. While it became a formal National Trail in 2007, the path follows ancient routes that have defined the English countryside for centuries.

This trail stretches from the historic town of Chipping Campden to the majestic city of Bath. As you walk, you traverse open meadows and golden-hued stone villages that look exactly like a postcard from the past. The route showcases the unique geology of the Cotswold Hills, which were once shaped by deep prehistoric seas. It remains a dream destination for hikers who want to experience the true heart of rural England.
