Holidays on the Cotswold Way provide an opportunity to get away from the hustle of a busy life and enjoy a break in quiet and unspoiled countryside. The area is criss-crossed with public footpaths and bridleways allowing exploration on a smaller scale than walking the full Cotswold Way, which is an ideal compromise for walkers with a young family.
The area is well connected by road allowing quick access to main routes. In this way, taking hotel accommodation along the Cotswold Way, opens up the possibility of enjoying the activities and facilities across a wide area returning in the evening to a peaceful haven.
Aside from the spectacular countryside, The Cotswold Way is close to many historic sites and buildings. Members of English Heritage will find no shortage of places to visit free along the length of the Cotswold escarpment with Gloucestershire offering a particularly rich concentration of locations. National Trust members, too, will be able to put their cards to good use viewing some magnificent houses and gardens.
For the more active, the Cotswolds is rich in stables and riding centres offering a great way to travel and enjoy being outdoors. The cities of Gloucester, Bristol and Bath lie a short distance away, each offering a selection of museums and attractions for all the family. Water sports can be enjoyed along the Severn estuary as well as near the Gloucester and Sharpness canal.
Cycle hire is easily arranged from several points along the way and a bike ride need not be too strenuous. Remaining at the top of the escarpment, exploration by bike can range over quite a distance without a great number of hills to slow you down. Similarly, if you're prepared for a bit of a climb at the end of the day, dropping down onto the Severn flood plain can permit miles of unbroken flat cycling to the many small villages (such as Frampton, with the biggest village green in the UK).
However active you have been during the day, you can return to good food and relaxing surroundings with any one of our hotel accommodation providers along the Cotswold Way.
