‍Begin your Cotswold adventure in one of England’s most graceful market towns.
At the northern gateway to the Cotswolds, Chipping Campden blends timeless beauty with walking trail prestige. With its long, curving High Street lined by honey-hued stone buildings and its role as the official start of the Cotswold Way, the town is both a visual delight and a practical hub for self-guided walkers.

Whether you’re walking north on gentle loops or setting out southbound on the 102-mile Cotswold Way, it’s an ideal base for relaxed yet rewarding walking holidays.
