What comes to mind when you think of the Cotswolds, quaint cottages and English gardens, fields of wildflowers and historic houses? Well, how about a walk or two? We’ve spent years hiking in and around the area and have found quite a few great circular walks in the Cotswolds.

All of these circular walks in the Cotswolds are great to do all year round, but we just think they are at their best in certain seasons so have set them out in these below. If you don’t have time for them all, we think that these are the top walks from each season:

📍 Spring – Castle Combe & By Brook circular

📍 Summer – Bath Skyline

📍 Autumn – Ebworth

📍 Winter – Chalford circular

The Best Circular Walks in the Cotswolds

SPRING

With new life in abundance and the cutest of baby lambs frolicking in the fields, spring is a great time to be in the Cotswolds. Flowering trees come into bloom alongside slightly frozen landscapes and everything just feels more alive with each day that passes.

Here are our 3 favourite spring circular walks in the Cotswolds;  

1. Castle Combe and By Brook circular

• Distance: 5.5 miles
• Difficulty: Moderate – one section uphill over rough ground
• Food & Drink: Various pubs and restaurants in the centre of the village
• Facilities: Public toilets to the south of the village
• OS Map: 156 – Chippenham & Bradford-on-Avon
• Parking: Castle Combe Visitor Car Park to the north of the village, (free parking)
• Start and end: Castle Combe car park to the north of the village.
• How to get there: Follow the postcode SN14 7HH to get to the Castle Combe visitor car park by car. By public transport, the only route that serves the village is the 35 bus from Chippenham to Castle Combe.

Starting off at the Castle Combe Visitor Car Park towards the north of the village, set off on foot down the road into the village, but before getting there follow the footpath signs to the right-hand side up and over the surrounding fields to the west of Castle Combe. Keep following these footpaths crossing through the Castle Combe golf course, taking extra care one, not to come into contact with anyone’s flying golf balls, and two not to put anyone off their shot!

From here you follow a steep walk up a very uneven track, which often gets worse and very wet when there has been particularly bad weather. But when you reach the top, boy are the views lovely. After walking along the road for a short while, follow the footpath down into the valley on the left-hand side.

Here you will meet up with the By Brook, a small tributary of the River Avon, following it along the MacMillan Way back into the village of Castle Combe. Keep an eye out for the local donkeys along here, they are super cute!

After crossing a couple of bridges and following the roadway a short distance you arrive at the southern side of Castle Combe, and the rather well-known Water Lane. If you visit during the spring, as we did, the By Brook is surrounded by a beautiful snowdrop display on the grounds of the Manor House, so be sure to visit.

Now for a wander through the quaint village before filling up your reserves at one of the local eateries. We can highly recommend The White Hart near the Market Cross. They’ve got a beautiful garden out the back and the food is delicious!

2. Prinknash & the Cheese Roll

• Distance: 3.4 miles
• Difficulty: Moderate – steep section up to the top of the Cheese Roll
• Food & Drink: Refreshments available at the Abbey shop if it is open
• Facilities: The nearest toilet is at the Abbey shop
• OS Map: 179 – Gloucester, Cheltenham & Stroud
• Parking: Free car parking at the Abbey Shop and Monastery Gardens
• Start and end: Prinknash car park
• How to get there: Follow the postcode GL4 8EX to get to Prinknash Abbey. There is no public transport that goes near the Abbey, the nearest stop is the number 8 from Gloucester topping in Brockworth a 2 mile walk away.

Prinknash is a beautiful place to visit and the perfect place to start and end this walk through the Cotswolds. Overlooked by the beautiful Roman Catholic Benedictine Prinknash Abbey, start this walk from the car park and head towards the new abbey following the road south. From here you will reach one of the graveyards, full of beautiful wooden crosses and with a view overlooking the surrounding area.

Next follow the public rights of way up through the woodland, up some steps and to a stone wall before bearing left to the crossing at the A46. From here keep following the Cotswolds Way, crossing the A46 following the footpaths up through the beech woodlands of Buckholt Wood, Upton Wood and Brockworth Wood. Once you reach a particularly steep section of the footpath, take this path up and, woo, you have reached the top of the famous Cheese Roll.

You can really get a sense of just how steep the hill is when you stand at the top, it is scary steep! Once you’ve had enough of the view, (and the obligatory cheese that you should have taken up with you), head back down to the west via the disused quarry before joining back up with the Cotswolds Way. Take the first footpath to the right crossing over the A46 and down the entrance road for Prinknash back to the car park.

3. Stroud Canals & Commons Walk

• Distance: 4.5 miles
• Difficulty: Moderate – The climb up to Selsley Common is a killer, but easily doable if you have enough puff!
• Food & Drink: Pubs in King Stanley and cafes along the canal at Ebley Mill
• Facilities: No toilets on route
• OS Map: 168 – Stroud, Tetbury & Malmesbury
• Parking: Roadside parking in Kings Stanley
• Start and end: Kings Stanley
• How to get there: Follow the postcode GL10 3PN to get you to the heart of Kings Stanley. By public transport take either the 6, 66 gold or X3.

Walks along the Cotswold Way are always spectacular, and this one is no exception. Starting and ending in Kings Stanley, just outside of Stroud, this walk takes you along the Ebley Canal / Stroudwater Navigation, before climbing up along the Cotswold way through a wonderful common and beautiful woodland before looping back on yourself.

Starting at Kings Stanley you want to head north towards the canal following the Cotswold Way along field footpaths and then the main road until you cross over the A419 and reach the canal at Ryeford. Follow this beautiful stretch of the canal to the east, before crossing over a playing field when you reach Ebley Mill. From there follow the Cotswold Way again crossing the A419 and climbing up the fields towards All Saints Church in Selsley.

From the church, you then follow the Cotswold Way even further up the hills and out to the top of Selsley Common, (normally a very windy Selsley Common), for some of the best views for miles around. You can see the River Severn if the weather is in your favour!

From the common, you want to continue following the Cotswold Way south-west down through Penn Wood and Middleyard, before arriving back into Kings Stanley. All in all, it’ll take a couple of hours and the climb up to the top of the common is a bit of a killer, but the views are so worth it!

SUMMER

Summer in the Cotswolds is just bliss. Fields of poppies and lavender in bloom, tranquil waters and hilltop viewpoints showing the patchwork of green fields of the area. What more could you want from a summertime jaunt?

There is an endless abundance of summer walks that the Cotswolds has to offer, and we’ve walked a fair few of them. So here are 3 of the best summer circular walks in the Cotswolds;

4. The Bath Skyline

• Distance: 5.5 miles
• Difficulty: Moderate – Some rocky steep locations through the woodland
• Food & Drink: No stops along the route
• Facilities: No facilities on route
• OS Map: 155 – Bristol & Bath
• Parking: Street parking along Cleveland Walk
• Start and end: Cleveland Walk
• How to get there: By car, the postcode is BA2 6JS for Cleveland Walk, by public transport take the 94, 734 or U1 from the city centre and get off at the Cleveland Walk stop.

If you are ever in Bath, make sure you make time to walk the National Trust Bath Skyline. This 6-mile walk weaves around the ridges to the east of Bath, taking in Bathampton Down, Claverton Down, Widcombe Hill and Bathwick Fields, all of which are more beautiful than the last. Start and end along Cleveland walk, where there is plenty of on-street parking or easy access to the local public transport.

The whole trail is really easy to follow, with National Trust wardens often located at places where the path isn’t so easy to find. It basically allows you to see a completely different side to Bath than the hustle and bustle of the city below, through woodlands, across wildflower-filled fields and out to the top of the edge of the city of Bath.

5. Sherston & Easton Grey – Cotswolds Fringe Loop Walk

• Distance: 6.5 miles
• Difficulty: Moderate – Slightly steep from the valley at Easton Grey to the Fosse Way
• Food & Drink: Café / pubs in Sherston
• Facilities: No toilets on route
• OS Map: 168 – Stroud, Tetbury & Malmesbury
• Parking: Street parking in Sherston, anywhere that is safe and not blocking access in the vicinity of SN16 0LZ
• Start and end: Sherston village
• How to get there: Drive to SN16 0LZ, via public transport take the 41 from Malmesbury to Yate or vice versa.

Beautiful Cotswold villages and quiet farm tracks with some waterways and crayfish in between. Sounds like a good walk right! Well, the Sherston to Easton Grey walk is just that, even if we did get slightly lost on route… Hint follow maps that are printed recently, not a 20-year-old AA Cotswold Walks book!

From Sherston follow the public rights of way out of the village to the northeast through the horse fields and the picturesque Pinkney Park. Here you want to follow the River Avon, all be it a very small river at this point, through the farmland to Easton Grey. This tiny hamlet with its beautiful weir is the perfect place to stop for a cuppa at before hitting the fields onto the River Avon.

From Easton Grey take the footpaths across the farmland to the east heading down into the valley to cross the River Avon. Here in our view, is the best place to stop for a paddle at the water’s edge, grab a bite to eat and of course, search for the secretive crayfish! We didn’t realise before going on this walk that crayfish were actually living in the river at this location, but luckily for us, a lovely family let us know of them just as we arrived.

After stopping to search for crayfish at the river outside of Easton Grey, take the footpaths out of the valley and follow the Fosse Way, an old Roman road, (so dead straight for miles on end!), back towards Sherston, passing through all the beautiful wildflower fields on the way if you visit during the summer.

After following along the Fosse Way for a little while bear right towards Ladyswood Stud following the footpath around and through the horse fields. From here the paths get a little less used and more overgrown, but just keep following the tracks straight until you reach a country road.

Follow this road around to the west until you reach Bustlers Hill, then follow the road up the hill back into the centre of Sherston following the River Avon. Be sure to stop by the Courtyard Café on Noble Street for a bite to eat, the local Cotswold ice cream/gelato is to die for!

6. Lacock Village & Countryside Loop

• Distance: 2.8 miles
• Difficulty: Easy
• Food & Drink: Multiple places in the village of Lacock.
• Facilities: None on the route, all within the centre of Lacock
• OS Map: 156 – Chippenham & Bradford-on-Avon
• Parking: Hither Way Car Park, owned by the National Trust.
• Start and end: Lacock National Trust car park
• How to get there: By car use the postcode SN15 2LG to get to you the car park and by public transport take the X34 bus from Chippenham.

Although not technically the Cotswolds, Lacock is often classed as being in the Cotswolds due to its location and pure quaintness. Its historic centre is basically the same as it was 200 years ago, albeit filled with cars now not horse and carriages. Explore the central four streets of Lacock before heading out of the village into the surrounding countryside along the disused Wiltshire and Berkshire canal.

Follow the footpaths up around Nash Hill and down through Bowden Park and Bewley Common before crossing over the river back towards the majestic Lacock Abbey. You can always add on to the walk by going a little bit further and taking in the River Avon and Bewley Court from here as well.

After walking back into the village via the rear of the abbey why not stop for a wander around Lacock Abbey itself. (Although that makes it sound quite easy, we did get lost on one turn thanks to an outdated map so be sure to know which way you are supposed to be going!).

AUTUMN

Autumn is quite possibly our favourite season. Cold crisp mornings, leaves turning all the shades of red and a bit of left-over sunshine before the cold nights draw in. What could be better and more inviting than getting out and exploring the autumnal walks that the Cotswolds has to offer.

So here are 3 of the best autumn circular walks in the Cotswolds;

7. Ebworth National Trust

• Distance: 4 miles
• Difficulty: Moderate
• Food & Drink: None on route
• Facilities: None
• OS Map: 179 – Gloucester, Cheltenham & Stroud
• Parking: Free parking at Ebworth, owned by the National Trust.
• Start and end: Ebworth Centre car park
• How to get there: By car use the postcode GL6 7ES, there isn’t any public transport.

Steep valleys, beech woodland walks and a view or two, the Ebworth Centre Cotswolds walk has it all. There are even some cute Belted Galloway cows too! Bypassing Cranham and Sheepscombe and wandering through two beautiful woodlands, the 4-mile long Ebworth National Trust walk can keep you busy for a few hours on a quiet day.

Start off at the car park before making your way through the main centre yard and out along the footpaths into the woodland south-west. From here just follow the paths until your heart is content! We looped back around on ourselves to the east when we reached Sheepscombe and Lords Wood.

Before following the rights of way north out into open farmland up Saltridge Hill and Saltridge Common Wood, before walking back down to the car park following the footpath to the south.

8. Painswick Beacon

• Distance: 5.6 miles
• Difficulty: Moderate
• Food & Drink: At the Abbey shop if open
• Facilities: At the Abbey shop if open
• OS Map: 179 – Gloucester, Cheltenham & Stroud
• Parking: Roadside parking along Bondend Road, avoiding any access points
• Start and end: Bondend Road
• How to get there: By car use the postcode GL4 8AN, to get you to the centre of Upton St Leonards. By public transport take the 2 / 2A from Gloucester and get off at the War Memorial by the church.

It may not seem like much, but Painswick Beacon is a place that will stun everyone with its views. Providing you’ve gone on a clear day you can see the Severn Bridges, the Malvern Hills and the Black Mountains if you are lucky. Painswick Beacon is actually the location of an old Iron Age hill fort as well as being part of the Cotswold Way.

There is a small parking area at the bottom with access onto the Beacon as well as the local Golf Course but it’s much more enjoyable to get to the beacon by starting in the village of Upton St Leonards. Starting along Bondend Road, (there is roadside parking up near the village hall), head down towards the old mill, then out across the fields to the south-east towards Rooksmoor Farm, crossing over the brook and into a second field, often filled with sheep.

After reaching the end of this field bear right at the stile and follow the track around towards the Portway. Here take the track up towards Prinknash Abbey, following it all the way to the new abbey. (If you have already done the Prinknash & Cheese Hill walk then this gets a bit similar here!).

From the abbey, you want to bear left up through the graveyard and along the public rights of way up the hill. Upon reaching the stone wall, bear right and cross the road, following the Cotswold Way south-west further through the woodland on Kites Hill. At this point, you pretty much just keep going up until you reach a more open area, and you are at Painswick Beacon.

From the beacon head down continuing along the Cotswold way west, towards the main road, before taking a footpath north towards Crows’ Nest. Follow this footpath down through the hills before reaching Watery Lane. It is called that for a reason so be prepared for some soggy walking or at least a bit of mud. There’s even a mini ‘boot waterfall’ at the bottom to clean your boots with!

From the bottom of Watery Lane, you will come out along the Portway. Take a left then the first right down The Stanley and you will end up back along Bondend Road near the start of your walk.  

9. Westonbirt Arboretum Maple Loop

• Distance: Varies depending on which routes you choose to follow
• Difficulty: Easy to moderate
• Food & Drink: Café at the main hub
• Facilities: Toilets at Westonbirt welcome buildings and the main hub
• OS Map: 168 – Stroud, Tetbury & Malmesbury
• Parking: Westonbirt, Foresty England owned.
• Start and end: Westonbirt Arboretum car park
• How to get there: By car use the postcode GL8 8QS to get to you the car park and by public transport, the 69 bus is the nearest stop.

Known far and wide for its display of autumn colours, Westonbirt Arboretum will have you coming back for more each year. With 2 different routes to follow and too many autumnal trees to count, you can easily spend a few hours here wandering in and out of the beautiful signature, native and rare trees.

If there is one area you cannot miss in autumn, it has to be the Maple Loop in Silk Wood. Westonbirt holds the national collection of maples and it is a sight to see. There is plenty of parking on the site, but we would recommend getting there as early as possible to make the most of the quiet. It can get quite busy at times during the prime leaf-peeping season!

WINTER

Winter can be the best time to visit the Cotswolds. With far fewer tourists around and roaring pub fireplaces to greet you at the end of a long walk, it is absolutely stunning. Yes, you might get caught in a rain shower or two, but that is half the fun of winter walking.

Who doesn’t like the fresh air and crisp ground underfoot? Here are our 3 favourite winter circular walks in the Cotswolds;

10. Wotton-Under Edge to North Nibley Tyndale Monument

• Distance: 5.5 miles
• Difficulty: Moderate – Steep start at Wotton and down to North Nibley
• Food & Drink: Pub in North Nibley
• Facilities: The nearest toilet is in a pub in North Nibley
• OS Map: 167 – Thornbury, Dursley & Yate
• Parking: Car parking in Wotton-Under-edge
• Start and end: Wotton-Under-Edge
• How to get there: By car use the postcode GL12 7DF to get to you the car park and by public transport, the 60 or X11 are the nearest bus stops

If you are after a walk with a view then this is the walk for you! Starting in Wotton-Under-Edge this route winds up along the edge of the surrounding escarpment to the north and out along to the Tyndale Monument, before a quick stop in North Nibley and a loopback through the woodland. It is woodland walking for the most part, but when it does open out into the fields the views are seriously impressive.

Start at the small car park in the centre of Wotton-Under-Edge, or street parking closer escarpment, before getting ready for the steep start to the top of Wotton Hill. Once at the top the views are stunning back of Wotton-Under-Edge. From the cluster of trees, you want to continue heading north then west through the woodland along the Cotswold Way towards the Tyndale Monument.

Be sure to climb up the Tyndale Monument for views for miles around, (you can see the monument from the M5 motorway miles away), but, be warned it is a little windy up there! You could easily end at the Tyndale Monument and turn around, but we decided to add on a visit to North Nibley for a pub lunch as it was bitterly cold.

So head down to the west of the monument through the steep woodland paths before reaching the village and stopping for a refuel. Once you’re fully refuelled, head back up the way you came down, past the tree swing, before following the woodland paths back to Wotton-Under-Edge.

11. Chalford Circular Stroud

• Distance: 5.6 miles
• Difficulty: Moderate – one section uphill over rough ground
• Food & Drink: Various pubs on route
• Facilities: None on route
• OS Map: 156 – Chippenham & Bradford-on-Avon
• Parking: Roadside parking
• Start and end: Roadside parking near the converted mill.
• How to get there: Car, public transport – Follow the postcode GL6 8PF to get to Belvedere Mews, follow this around to the roadside parking at the mill. By public transport, there are multiple buses that pass by the start of this walk including the 52, 54, 54A, 852, 863 and the X54.

Starting near Belvedere Mill, you want to cross the A419 towards Chalford Church, then walk up the hill behind past the cemetery and through Chalford. This is where a steep hill comes in! We unknowingly, walked the route backwards, which meant we started on a steep uphill to reach the woodland above Chalford… At the time it was annoying but we think this route is best done backwards as you get the hardest bit out the way first and get to really enjoy the rest of the route with no more hill worries.

Once you reach Frith Wood, follow the footpaths west towards the Ram Inn bear right and follow the footpaths down into Toadsmoor Valley, one of the least accessible valleys in the Cotswolds. You’ll walk a slight loop through beautiful woodland before coming out just down the road from the Ram Inn again.

You can always skip this bit if you fancy a shorter route or if you don’t fancy doing two circular walks in the Cotswolds at once. Next continue heading west towards Nether Lypiatt Manor and Thrupp, where the walk takes you through open woodland clearings and tiny lanes past farmhouses and quaint cottages.

Upon reaching Thrupp Farm, cross over the A419 again and join up with the Thames and Severn Canal, keeping it on your left. End the route by walking all the way along the canal until you reach where you started.

12. USL Peaks Challenge

• Distance: minimum of 10 miles
• Difficulty: Moderate
• Food & Drink: None on route
• Facilities: None on route
• OS Map: 179 – Gloucester, Cheltenham & Stroud
• Parking: On-street parking in Upton St Leonards, but be mindful of access to driveways
• Start and end: Upton St Leonards Village Hall
• How to get there: By car head to GL4 8AG and by public transport, the number 2 / 2A bus goes through the village from Gloucester city centre.

Now for a walk that only came to life due to the ongoing lockdowns within the UK… The Upton St Leonards Peaks Challenge! Wonderful Pappy Tedaldi decided enough was enough and he had to come up with a challenge to get the residents of Upton St Leonards out and about, enjoying their lockdown walks again, so the USL Peaks Challenge was born.

Taking in 10 of the peaks surrounding the village, the challenge is to reach them all in one day but without crossing or doubling back on a path you have already been on… Sounds easy right? Well, the few who have tried it so far say otherwise. It’s the perfect challenge to get you out and utilising those map reading skills!

Where to stay in the Cotswolds?

This is slightly dependant on where you want to visit in the Cotswolds, but for a good all-round location in the centre of the Cotswolds, we would highly recommend staying in Painswick. Not only is the cute market town a must-visit location in the Cotswolds anyway, but if you get a chance to stay at The Painswick you should jump at it. Not only is the hotel stunning, but the food served here, (from traditional Afternoon Tea to the A La Carte menu or a 5 course meal), is also delicious.

Check out a few accommodation options here – Booking.com or on the map below.

Circular walks in the Cotswolds FAQ’s

Where are the Cotswolds?

The Cotswolds are located in the centre of England, with areas of the region located within the surrounding counties of Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Somerset, Warwickshire, Wiltshire and Worcestershire.  

How to get around the Cotswolds?

One of the easiest ways to get around the Cotswolds, but more physically demanding, is of course by walking / hiking. You can easily explore the Cotswolds from the very north to the very south this way.

However, if you would rather save your feet, then by far the best way to get around the Cotswolds is by car as it doesn’t limit you to visiting locations that are served by public transport only, which is all the locations the majority of tourists visit. If you want to get off the beaten path a little you will need a car or to take a tour.

Best time to go walking in the Cotswolds?

Spring or autumn are the best times to go walking in the Cotswolds. Spring brings warmer days and lots of greenery whilst the autumn shows off in all of its colours. You can of course go walking in the Cotswolds in the summer or winter but it can get very hot on certain walks in the summer with minimal shade, and it can be very unsheltered from bad weather in the winter.  

What is the best time of year to visit the Cotswolds?

In terms of walking the Cotswolds is great to visit throughout the year. It can get a little busier during the summer months, with people out enjoying the weather, but it is still relatively quiet along the walking routes in comparison to being in one of the towns or villages. Spring is full of new life, autumn is awash with colours and winter can see you getting a dusting of snow.

Is the Cotswolds good for walking?

The Cotswolds is potentially one of the best places in England to go walking. Not only is there the Cotswold Way long-distance trail, but there are countless of other walks throughout the Cotswolds too. Plus, they all range in difficulty so there will be walks perfect for families as well as more experienced hikers.  

What is the best walk in the Cotswolds?

100% the Cotswold Way. With a route that goes from the furthest point north in the Cotswolds to the furthest point south, it is really the ideal walk to do to really experience all the Cotswolds has to offer.  

How long does it take to walk the Cotswold Way?

It takes a week on average to walk the Cotswold Way in its entirety. With 102 miles to cover from Chipping Campden in the north to Bath in the south, it isn’t for the faint-hearted! That is unless you do it split up over a number of day trips/visits, as we have done and as some of the circular walks we wrote about cover.  

Can you walk between villages in the Cotswolds?

Yes, it can take a little bit of planning to ensure you have pick-up and drop-off locations organised, but you can definitely walk between villages in the Cotswolds. One place that is great for this is walking between Upper Slaughter, Lower Slaughter and Bourton-on-the-Water.  

What are the best viewpoints in the Cotswolds?

There are multiple incredible viewpoints across the Cotswolds, but there are three that we would always go back to time and again. The first is up in the north of the Cotswolds at Broadway Tower, then Painswick Beacon in the mid Cotswolds and finally the Bath Skyline in the south of the Cotswolds. They are all very different from one another, but they are equally as lovely with equally stunning viewpoints.  

What else is there to do in the Cotswolds besides walks?

The Cotswolds is full of beautiful quaint villages, incredible gardens and historic properties to visit, so no it’s not just all about the walks. There is also a vast amount of great local food and drink that you simply must try when in the Cotswolds. If you really want to make the most of your time in the Cotswolds then head on a tour of the Cotswolds, some great options are –
