This revised 2006 edition, which has also been chosen as the official guide to the Cotswold Way relay race, describes the Cotswold Way from the best vantage point - on foot. This is another title from the Cotswold publisher, Reardon. Recommended by TV's "Wish You Were Here", this is the ultimate walking guide to the Cotswolds, "The Cotswold Way". This long distance walk is famous the world over, and rightly so, for it crosses the Cotswolds showing the land as it is seen best by foot. Written by Mark Richards (well-known long distance walker) in his own very special style pointing out the history behind what is seen, showing the reader in illustration the beauty of the Cotswolds and drawing maps so detailed that it would be difficult to get lost even on purpose!. The maps show both the standard way along with the planned official direction changes making it fully up-to-date and usable for many years to come. It features a cover design from a painting of the Cotswolds by the internationally famous David Bellamy and is the official guide used on "The Cotswold Way Relay Race".

The above book description is a fair comment. This is a classic "English walk" from Chipping Campden via Broadway, Winchcombe, Painswick, Stroud along 104 miles of winding ridge top trail to Bath. There are 26 hand-drawn 1:25,000 scale maps that show clearly every style, gate and fence along the route. They are accompanied by fine "Wainwright style" drawing of views and buildings along the way. And even one of his wife "Helen emerging from the Beacon Lane thicket" on Map 22. His description of the route is very detailed, but its nice just to follow the maps and refer to the text if you seem a bit lost.
If you want colour maps (at the same scale) and colour photographs I suggest you try "The Cotswold Way" OS Recreational Path Guide by Anthony Burton. Or be like me and buy both!

This is a very good "Wainwright-style" guide to the Way. I think we found only two errors. It gives both good trail information and general background information. I copied the whole book then laminated the A4 pages back to back and these proved to be a weather-proof option to carry by hand. The OS map proved a useful back-up.
