The Cotswolds are a pretty region of Western
England near the border of Wales. For a week the walking holidays are based in the
quaint town of
Bourton-on-the-Water and from here we walk on country foot-paths that have been used
since medieval times. See heritage houses and medieval
churches, atmospheric country estates and prehistoric burial mounds. Chichester
is a market town of Roman origin. Hidcote Manor Gardens are one of the greatest
gardens in the country. We visit a stone circle 4,000 years old and ramble
through villages like Upper Slaughter. There is always time to enjoy afternoon
tea and crumpets or quaff an ale in a pub.
2011 Dates: Classic Walking Holidays weekly starting Saturdays from May -
October.
Walkers stay at the same hotel for seven nights. Days start and end with a short
bus ride so the walks are in the most spectacular parts of the island.
