Guidebook to walking the Cotswold Way National Trail between Chipping Campden and Bath, across the Cotswolds AONB - which includes both a guide to the route and a separate mapping booklet. The 102 mile (163km) route is described in both directions over 14 stages, of between 4 and 10 miles, depending on the existence of overnight accommodation. This guidebook is illustrated with maps and the author's own full-colour photographs. The stage-by-stage route description is accompanied by overview maps at a scale of 1:75,000. A more detailed map of the Way is supplied in booklet form, at a scale of 1:25,000, slid into the back of the book. The Cotswold Way became a National Trail in May 2007, despite having been a much-loved walking route for more than 35 years. It follows the Cotswold escarpment, with dramatic and far-reaching views across the Severn Vale towards the Welsh hills, plunging down to visit honey-coloured villages, old market towns and the elegant and historic city of Bath.
Jonathan and Lesley Williams have been directors of Cicerone for 25 years, now partly retired with the next generation of directors firmly established, they now enjoy increased time exploring and researching as authors. Based on the edge of the Lake District, they enjoy spending days in the hills and months in the mountains and have written or updated several Cicerone guidebooks for Switzerland, as well as guidebooks for areas of the UK. Although this is entirely a new guidebook, it owes much to the foundations of previous editions of the Cicerone guide to the Cotswold Way written by Kev Reynolds. Kev Reynolds was a prolific author of guidebooks for Cicerone Press. Although most of his guides were devoted to mountain regions such as the Alps, Pyrenees and Himalaya, he considered the gentler landscapes of the English countryside to be no second best. His passion for mountains in particular and the countryside in general remained undiminished after a lifetime's activity, until his death in 2021.
