LOCAL WALKS

The Cotswolds in late Spring offer walkers a wonderful introduction to what many consider as being quintessentially English countryside.
Chipping Campden is also situated at the Northern end of The Cotswold Way National Trail which is a scenic, undulating route just over 100 miles
following the Cotswold ridge, via the villages of Broadway, Winchcombe, Dursley and Wotton-under-Edge to finish at the World Heritage City of Bath in the south.
The walk is claimed to be the best marked trail in England.
I'm not for one moment suggesting that you walk 100 miles so, below are a range of walks in and around Chipping Campden some of which may include parts of The Cotswold Way.
