Route and access notes

Walk the Cotswold escarpment between Chipping Campden and Bath, through villages, woodland and open hills. This page assesses the hiking route, not the separate circular walks.

Planning this route

The operator describes a 164 km National Trail. The pinned source measures 165.4 km and its endpoints match Chipping Campden and Bath. Plan stages and transport separately; the condition map is not turn-by-turn navigation.

Access and source limitations

Check National Trail and local notices for diversions before walking. Source surface tags are absent on about 72.6 km, and walking-access tags are unspecified or complex on about 39.8 km. These are data limitations, not a finding that the trail is closed.
