WALKING
AND HIKING
"Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend." Albert
Camus, philosopher
The Cotswolds region of outstanding beauty is a paradise of rural tranquility and offers many activities including walking and hiking, cycling, horse riding, golf, motor sport, gliding, ballooning, fishing, camping, caravanning, or just ambling around and through the many beautiful villages.
Starting at the historic border crossing at Chepstow, the Gloucestershire Way offers a 100 mile walk, mainly on footpaths and bridleways, through this most English of landscapes. Above all, the walker gains a unique perspective on the Cotswolds. Firstly, from the Forrest of Dean, the Cotswolds appear as a distant 'High Blue Hill', next the Way leads through some fine villages, before the descent to the landmark Abbey at Tewkesbury.
Shakespeare's Way Walk
