SELF GUIDED TOURS / THE COTSWOLD TRIANGLE
Three days walking in the heart of the Cotswolds starting any day you like from Winchcombe, Chipping Campden or Stow-on-the-Wold (subject to accommodation availability)

This long weekend condenses the very best of the Cotswolds into three days. Stay in three of the loveliest towns and villages in the Cotswolds. Distances can be reduced if required by using taxis or buses.

TO BOOK: contact cotswoldwalks@star.co.uk or Tel: (44) (0)1242 518888
PRICE: from £215 per person sharing - please click on 'PRICES'
INCLUDED: 4 nights B & B, luggage transportation each walking day, route notes and maps, local back-up

Day 1: Overnight Winchcombe, once a Saxon capital and a lively village with fine church, and splendid castle (where Henry VIII's sixth wife, Katherine Parr, is buried).

Day 2: Winchcombe to Chipping Campden  (25.5 kms/16 miles)
The route takes you past the ruins of Hailes Abbey and on to the timeless beauty of Stanway and Stanton. Cross the lower slopes of the Cotswolds to the old coaching village of Broadway before the last climb to the Gothic folly of Broadway Tower and a gentle descent into Chipping Campden, perhaps the finest of Cotswold wool towns.

Day 3: Chipping Campden to Stow-on-the-Wold   (24 kms/15 miles)
Walk through Broad Campden to Blockley and thence via Batsford with its arboretum and falconry to Moreton-in-Marsh, straddling the Roman Fosse Way. Make a short diversion to see the Moghul architecture of Sezincote and then on through Longborough and Broadwell to Stow-on-the-Wold, with its fine square and antique shops.

Day 4: Stow-on-the-Wold to Winchcombe   (22.5 kms/14 miles)
Down to Lower Slaughter and Upper Slaughter and across the wolds to the perfect villages of Naunton and Guiting Power. Through woods and fields before the descent close to Sudeley Castle to return to Winchcombe.

Day 5: Departure after breakfast

REMEMBER - many of our walks can be shortened by using either public transport or taxis. We can also adapt these routes to suit the time you have available and your walking capabilities.
