Cotswold Outstanding Circular Walks Pathfinder Guidebook

compiled by: John Brooks and Brian Conduit. Fully revised by Nick Channer
This Pathfinder Guide makes the ideal companion for country walks throughout the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and beyond. Clear and easy to follow directions are accompanied by detailed full colour Explorer 1:25,000 scale maps from Ordnance Survey with the route highlighted in yellow. There are also numerous specially commissioned colour photographs. With 28 colour-coded routes to choose from, all tried and tested by seasoned walkers and varying from extended strolls to exhilarating hikes, there is a walk to suit all situations.

The guide introduces you to the area and highlights the most scenic walks. Details are included for useful organisations, refreshment stops and places to leave your car. Each walk entry also gives distance, walking time followed by a summary of the walk highlights and terrain. The route navigation text is linked by numbers to points on the OS map, making route finding easy. The majority of the routes are in Gloucestershire although the Oxfordshire Cotswolds and the southern escarpment on the Avon/Wiltshire border are also covered.
