Two days into the hike from Chipping Campden to Birdslip so far and the best sections gave been the section from Chipping Campden to Broadway, and ?Seven Springs to Birdslip.
Good sections of the retail wind through paddocks and that can get a bit monotonous. However, some of the higher sections have spectacular views out over the surrounding countryside.
Generally well signposted, however first time hikers who aren't familiar with the trail and county should take one of the better Cotswold hiking books as tho it's well signposted, there were a couple of sections where we list the trail where it diverged and needed to consult the guide to get back on track

One of the most beautiful walks there is! Even if you're not a hardened-hiker, make a little time, get a map, and stroll through some of the most wonderful scenery in all of England. Best way to see the real countryside!

Hike all seemed to be up hill but what wonderful vistas. People we met on the trail were friendly. Many sites to see along with sheep in the meadows.

Cotswold Way Walk is not to be taken lightly especially if doing it in 6 consecutive days walking. The CWW is billed as a walk through quintessential English countryside. Some of it is, but not all! I would estimate half of the overall 102 miles of the CWW is through dense woodland. Who knew the Cotswolds contained so many trees? Not to mention the endless number of hills marched up and down every day. Apart from that it was a great experience, especially if you like trees!

We walked about eight miles, a circular walk from our rental cottage, crossing Winchcombe and Gloucester way.

Nothing spectacular, but simply beautiful English countryside.
Obviously best enjoyed during sunny months, like we had in 2018.
Spend as much time as you like, there are plenty of detours.

There are many local walks that incorporate parts of the Cotswolds Way. It is worth seeking out leaflets or a local walks booklet. Great views of the Cotswolds for not too much effort on walks out of Winchcombe

This is a beautiful place. It’s a 4 mile round walk from the car park at brick worth woods
It is advertised as a moderate 4 mile walk but I think the person who devised the walk was a mountain goat! Thought the scenery is stunning it’s a very steep tough walk !

I think my wife's highlight of our UK trip was walking along the Cotswolds Way up to Broadway Tower (from Broadway) walking through fields with lots of baby lambs. Overall a lovely walk.

After a walk around the beautiful Winchcombe we followed the street signs for the Cotswolds Way and joined it by the Sudeley Castle entrance.As i began my walk i was immediately greeted by several picnickers in an adjoining field.The route i took is called the circular route andvfor much of it i walked along a narrow mud track which cut through the most beautiful countryside especially when i looked back over towards Winchcombe and the church.I was informed about how long this walk is and really want to walk it all eventually.....a pretty walk.Visited 13th August 2017.

Is it possible to stay in one of the towns, hike to another town from there in one day? Which town would be most affordable to stay in? Thank you

Hi,you need the book first,it details the whole of the Cotswold way walk in each stage in great detail both ways of walking.
Either from Bath to Chipping Camden or Visa versa.
We bought our book from amazon on the web cheap.
Most stages are easy walking about 10 miles,but it is possible to walk 2stGes in a day,but public transport is far and few between.taxis to expensive and one car is no good because you have to get it back after the days walk.
Accomadation especially in summer gets booked up in advance and a night bb in a double room averages £75 total.
Most walks end in smal villages or towns with limited services,so planning in advance is essential.
We plan all our walks for week or months before on internet research.
Hope this helps and we are willing to answer any help you need.
Remember our weather,Cotswolds are mild,but always take light rain wear.,good worn in boots.
Christine.
