“I would do it again”

written by Debiwebb1 on 21/07/2014

Recently my husband and I as well as my sister and her husband did the North to South Cotswold Way walk booked by Contours. We loved it. We walked from Chipping Campden to Painswick, England. The weather was wonderful and the walk was beautiful. We got turned around a couple of times but for the most part the book and the map provided by Contours help much. Contours made the arrangements for overnight stays at each village.

I was disappointed in,"White Hart Inn", but the other places were excellent. White Hart Inn is more like an updated youth hostel but the food was great and the people helpful. The other places were so nice and the owners were great. My husband and I are thinking about doing an even longer Cotswold Way walk in the future. This walk was only 48miles but you can do a 100mile walk. I will say that some of the trails are steep and will definitely tire you out. The scenery is beyond beautiful and the pubs and B&Bs' and the people are so nice.

I loved the cathedrals and Sudeley Castle. St. Peters Cathedral in Winchcombe is a must see with all of the gargoyles. Before we started our walk we took the Britrail to Edinburgh, Scotland and went to Edinburgh Castle. Edinburgh is a great place with really nice people. After the walk we stayed in London and saw the sights of London. It was a memorable trip that I would recommend to anyone.
