What's in the guide
These aren't the walks on every tourist list. They're the ones locals actually do — quiet, beautiful, and almost always ending at a proper pub.
Winchcombe to Sudeley Castle
4.5 milesEasyA meadow path to a Tudor castle with the best views in Gloucestershire. Dogs welcome, children love it.
Bibury & the Coln Valley
5 milesEasyFollow the River Coln through England's most photographed village and out into countryside almost nobody walks.
Painswick Beacon Loop
6 milesModerateHuge skies, Iron Age hillfort, and a descent through the Rococo Garden. The pub at the end is worth the climb.
Bourton-on-the-Water to the Slaughters
5.5 milesEasyFrom the busiest village in the Cotswolds to the quietest — Upper and Lower Slaughter are ten minutes apart and feel like a different century.
Chipping Campden & Dover's Hill
4 milesEasyA gentle loop from a perfect market town up to a natural amphitheatre with views over the Vale of Evesham. Sunset is something else.

“We've lived here twenty years and the Bibury walk showed us a route we'd never done. Genuinely surprised.”
