Overview

Are you looking for a unique and memorable way to explore the charming villages of the Cotswolds?

Look no further than the Cotswolds Village Ultra! Our 4-day walking tour is designed to take you on a journey through some of the most picturesque and historic villages in the region.

Itinerary

Arrive at Moreton-in-Marsh train station and make your way to your welcoming B&B. Here, you’ll receive your welcome pack, maps, and detailed route notes. Settle in and enjoy your first evening in this historic market town.

After breakfast, a taxi will collect you from Moreton-in-Marsh and transfer you to the elegant village of Chipping Campden — often regarded as one of the loveliest towns in the Cotswolds.

Your walk begins here, taking you through:

  • Broad Campden
  • Blockley
  • The arboretum and falconry centre at Batsford Arboretum


For a shorter option, you may finish at Batsford and take an optional taxi back to Moreton.

Continue onward to Moreton-in-Marsh for your second overnight stay.

Today you cross the open high wolds en route to Stow-on-the-Wold.

Highlights include:

  • The striking Mogul-style Sezincote House
  • A collection of charming rural hamlets
  • Sweeping countryside views


Arrive in Stow before 4pm to enjoy a complimentary cream tea in a traditional tearoom. Spend the evening exploring the historic square and its independent shops and inns. Overnight in Stow-on-the-Wold.

A gentle downhill walk leads you across open meadows toward the idyllic village of Lower Slaughter, before continuing to the ever-popular Bourton-on-the-Water.

With its stone bridges spanning the River Windrush and a wide choice of attractions, Bourton is the perfect place to relax and explore. Enjoy an afternoon visiting museums, browsing local shops, or dining in one of the many excellent restaurants. Overnight in Bourton-on-the-Water.

Today’s 18 km circular walk is the most challenging of the tour — ideal for keen walkers.

From Bourton-on-the-Water, your route takes you to:

  • Naunton
  • Lower Slaughter
  • Upper Slaughter


This rewarding trail explores one of the most scenic and popular walking areas in the Cotswolds. Expect peaceful river valleys, traditional stone cottages, and classic English countryside.

If preferred, the walk can be shortened by turning back at Lower or Upper Slaughter.

Return to Bourton-on-the-Water for your final overnight stay.

After breakfast, you will be transferred back to Moreton-in-Marsh station for your onward journey.

A brilliant location, and room 5 was large, warm and had a huge bed! A lovely breakfast was served, and the couple who ran the BB were friendly and helpful. We would definitely return!

Graham

Lovely place to stay in Cotswold! Not too far from the famous Arlington row. Your staff was very nice and welcoming. The location is exceptional because it is close to the areas we wanted to visit and the town is beautiful!

Gonzalez

Amazing stay! The facilities were amazing and cozy, the breakfast was one of the best I’ve had, and the area was amazing. Highly recommend!

Miranda

We selected Davenford Stow Gardens as a base for a stay in the Cotswolds. The team were extremely helpful during the booking process and we received excellent instructions about the check-in process, parking and what to do/where to eat during our stay. Breakfasts were excellent as were the afternoon tea scones which we ended up taking away with us! The room was spacious, clean and very comfortable, and quiet at night even though we were facing the street. A very relaxing stay and we will hope to do again.
