The Cotswold Way

we stayed in Upper Slaughter at the Lords of the Manor and walked through the pastures along the River Eye to Lower Slaughter. It was Lovely. This past spring we were in Stratfrod and walked along the River Avon a bit. Also did a stop in Chipping Camden for lunch. Maybe SOMEday we’ll have time to do more of the Cotswold Way as well! Good luck

For the longest time, I’ve been wanting to satisfy my anglophilia by walking the Cotswold Way. Starting at Bath Abbey, by the Avon river, I would love to spend a couple of days seeing Bath, gearing up, maybe play some golf, and then head north on the trail which leads 102 miles to Chipping Campden.

I would like to take this at a leisurely pace, carrying only a day pack with camera, sketchbook, journal, snacks, water, etc. I want to take the time to explore and see what there is to see. I would plan my end points in pubs in quaint villages, staying in B&Bs, and maybe taking a day off now and again to explore a particularly interesting town. I am thinking 2 to 2 1/2 weeks for the whole trip.
