Synopsis

England's archetypal walking country, through lush
valleys and up across limestone downland, the
Cotswold Hills are delightfully peppered with warm
honey-stone architecture. These houses inspired
William Morris to form the Society for the Protection
of Ancient Buildings. Its churches, built on wool-wealth
from sheep, are without equal.
Fascinating information panels provide anecdotes and
facts about the places you will see. All routes have
been checked out on the ground and use rights of way
or cross public access land. Many of these paths are
incorporated into recognised long-distance trails,
several of which we sample.

About this title

From the Publisher:

Direction, distance and terrain are described in detail
for a series of ten circular walks varying in length from
five to 12 miles. They are graded for the degree of
difficulty, so you know what you are letting yourself in
for, and numerous refreshment points provide ample
opportunity for pit-stops.They are designed to suit the
needs of families, groups of friends or individuals
looking for a gentle stroll or a longer walk, and reflect
the many varied facets of the area - its people, its
history, and its working landscape and will help first
time visitors to experience some of the great scenery
the area has to offer. The ten walks are:
Broadway Tower and Village * Stanton and Snowshill
Moreton-in-Marsh and Longborough * Hailes Abbey
and Farmcote * Guiting Power and Sudeley
Adlestrop and Chastleton * Bourton-on-the-Water
and the Slaughters * Cold Aston and Notgrove
Chedworth and Fossebridge * Bibury and Ablington
Halsgrove's new-format guidebook, containing maps,
photographs and useful information will ensure a great
walking experience. Packed with colour, the book is an
ideal reminder of a visit to the area.
