Guided Cotswold Walking Tours

Tour Overview

Half Day (3–4 hours) or Full Day (6–8 hours)

The Cotswolds is one of England’s finest walking landscapes — a world of ancient trackways, open wolds, hidden river valleys and honey-stone villages beckoning to be discovered on foot. Our guided walking tours bring this countryside to life; led by our expert local Cotswold tour guides, as you walk your guide will share the history, folklore and hidden secrets of the places you pass through — from the medieval wool trade that built these beautiful villages to the writers, artists and eccentrics who have called the Cotswolds home.

Whether you’re tracing a stretch of the celebrated Cotswold Way — one of England’s great National Trails — or exploring quieter corners of the Cotswolds National Landscape, each walk is entirely tailored to your group, your pace and your starting point. Half-day and full-day options are available, with stops for lunch planned along the way for full-day routes, and walks starting and ending from a pre-agreed location to suit your stay. Luggage transfers can also be arranged, should these be required.

Example walks include:
  • Broadway to Chipping Campden (along part of the Cotswold Way)
  • Broadway & Stanton circular
  • Walks across Cleeve Hill & the Isbourne Valley
  • Stow-on-the-Wold, Bourton-on-the-Water & the Slaughters
  • Along the River Windrush from Burford
  • Chipping Campden to Hidcote Gardens & Ebrington
  • Dover’s Hill circular from Chipping Campden
  • Stanton, Snowshill & the escarpment circular
