In November 2012, England’s Cotswold Way National Trail joined the International Appalachian Trail as an important link between southern England and eastern Wales.
The 102 mile (164 km) trail of quintessentially English countryside follows the Cotswold escarpment
with its stunning views
and charming villages,
from the World Heritage City of Bath in the south
to the beautiful Cotswold market town of Chipping Campden in the North.
The Cotswold Way National Trail passes through many picturesque villages and close to a significant number of historic sites, such as the Roman heritage at Bath,
the Neolithic burial chamber at Belas Knap,
Sudeley Castle near Winchcombe,
Hailes Abbey
and many beautiful churches and historic houses.
