The Secret Cotswolds walking holiday, take a short break and the time to relax, recharge and explore this beautiful region. The Cotswolds are known world wide, often described with many superlatives! I want to help you explore the Cotswolds differently. No crowds, no tourist hot spots, just lovely genuine places and gorgeous country inn.
Discover the historic sites left by our ancestors, with Neolithic burial mounds and Roman villas, and explore unspoilt villages of Cotswolds stone cottages, and beautiful big landscapes with dry stone walls. Discover, the secret Cotswolds.
With an independent Foot Trail I can give you a self guided walking holiday that's created just for you. Whether you are travelling by train or car, have 3 days or two weeks, or if you would like to walk 5 miles or 10 miles, we will create your ideal walking holiday using local knowledge and rural England expertise.

Included in your walking holiday
We suggest you arrive on your first day, perhaps enjoy lunch and a short few miles walk to explore your area, before dinner and a good nights sleep.
Of course it´s your holiday, and this is only a suggestion. The superior country inn where you will stay at will have a great restaurant and delicious menu for dinner. A bottle of wine is included in your holiday.
Your holiday includes for you one day of independent walking for each night that you stay. Stay 2 nights and enjoy 2 days walking for example.
We give you a suggested departure time each morning (leisurely!) to ensure you arrive at the pub on route in time for lunch. We either provide directions to the start of your walk by car ( 10 – 15 minutes) or if you are car free we provide a transport drop off service, or you may be walking from the door.
Finding your way is easy. You will have received your pesonalised walk pack a week before your arrival. If you don´t map read don´t worry. We do include proper Ordnance survey maps with your trails clearly marked for guests who map read, or why not give it a go. We also include robust waterproof trail cards. These provide easy to follow step by step directions. Just like having a guide telling where to go. They also include stories and histories to help you find out about the area.
Accommodation and breakfast is included in your holiday. A bottle of wine is provided. Half board options with dinner are also available.
Walks are available of either 5 to 7 miles or up to 10 miles.
