Cotswold Way Page 1 017687 71656 www.awalkinthecountry.com Cotswold Way Page 1 Cotswold Way The Cotswold Way, one of England’s finest National Trails, takes you 104 miles (167 km) from the medieval market town of Chipping Campden in the North Cotswolds to the historic City of Bath, through the classic English countryside. The Cotswold Way dissects the largest of all of the Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty in England and Wales: an area with stone walls and buildings, open skies, rolling grasslands, beech woods and captivating villages, making it an outstanding English landscape. Following the western edge of the Cotswold Hills, this route passes through a succession of enchanting English villages, featuring honey-coloured cottages built from the delightfully warm Cotswold stone, and welcoming country inns and pubs. The path undulates through stunning landscapes, affording ever-changing views over the River Severn and the Malvern Hills. Along the way, you will also pass Neolithic burial barrows, beautiful stately homes, and historic battle sites. End your walking holiday in the City of Bath, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, brimming with roman remains and fine architecture.

  • South Gloucestershire Council Boundary Review Liberal Democrat Group Submission June 2017
    South Gloucestershire Council Boundary Review Liberal Democrat Group Submission June 2017 This submission is from the Liberal Democrat group on South Gloucestershire Council. The Lib Dems are the second largest group on the council, and one of only two to ever have had an overall majority. As such, there is a good understanding of community links, and history, across much of the district. In our submission we have focussed upon the areas where we have deep community roots, stretching back over 40 years. In those areas we know the communities well, so feel we can make submissions which reflect the nuances of natural communities. However, there are some areas where we do feel others are better placed to identify the nuances. In those areas we have not sought to offer detailed solutions. We believe communities and individuals in those areas are best placed to provide their local solutions. We have submitted specific plans for the district over the areas where we have a good understanding, and believe our proposals are powerful, rooted in strong community identities, and efficient local government. All of the proposals are within the permissible variance from the new electoral quota with 61 Councillors, and we do not believe this needs to be modified up or down to make the map work. South Gloucestershire elects in an “all-up” manner, which means under Commission guidance, a mixture of 1, 2, and 3 member wards is appropriate, which we have proposed. We have proposed no ‘doughnut’, or detached wards, and many of the proposals allow for the reunification of communities which have previously been separated by imposed political boundaries.

  • News for June 2012
    News for June 2012 Message from Alan Bracey, 1st June: Hello Bill/Pete. Afraid I'm off the bike again. My own stupid fault. While away in Cornwall, I dislocated my left hip again by bending and twisting like I had been told not to. Finished up in Truro hospital where they put it back in again. So its back to square one, no riding for 2 months, no driving for six weeks and countless b***kings from Jen when I try to do too much. I will keep in touch however and look forward to driving to some lunch stops.I may sound cheerful about the whole thing, but due to my own stupidity, I feel quite low at the moment. Alan Thursday 7th June 2012 - report from Bill Balchin: After several days of celebrations for the Queen's diamond jubilee it was our turn. Although Will.i.am did not show up we had the same poor weather to dampen a couple of dozen at the Castle Green bandstand for the start. John was expecting a photographer from the (Evening) Post and sure enough, just as we were about to leave he arrived to grab a few shots. I was pleased that he managed to arrange the group as I dashed out and grabbed one of my own, well it will save a few bob not buying a paper. One person not at the start was Pete Campbell who was being interviewed live on the John Darvall show on radio Bristol. John started off by asking if Pete liked being called an old time cyclist.

  • Walking the Cotswold Way in England
    Walking the Cotswold Way in England - Part 2 May 13-21, 2023 AT# 2302 Trip rating= Moderate to Vigorous https://www.outdoors.org/outdoor-activities/difficulty-ratings Join us as we begin our exploration of the Cotswolds by walking the southern half of the 102 mile long national trail called the Cotswold Way. (We’ll hiked the northern half in 2022!) It traces the escarpment marking the western edge of the Cotswolds, stretching north to south between Chipping Campden and Bath, and taking in Broadway, Winchcombe, and Painswick, among other villages. The trail has incomparable views across the Severn Vale to the Malvern Hills and takes us through varied scenery: limestone grasslands crossed by drystone walls, beech woodlands, and stone-built villages with ancient churches. The gentle Cotswolds countryside, designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (ONB), is threaded with more than 3,000 miles of pleasant walking routes that enables us to appreciate these upland tracts at their best. A gently undulating area of limestone uplands, the Cotswolds are among England’s best preserved rural districts, and the quiet but lovely grays and ambers of the stone buildings here are truly unsurpassed. The valleys are lush and rolling, and cozy hamlets appear covered in foliage from church tower to garden gate. We fly into London’s Heathrow airport and transfer by private charter bus to our base, for the first part of the trip, in Painswick. We’ll travel each day by private charter bus as we explore the area and walk along the Cotswold Way. One day will be devoted to exploring nearby villages.
