Wotton-under-Edge Cotswold Gateway Route 2

Climbs steadily through classic Cotswold woodland and open fields above Wotton-under-Edge, offering sweeping views across the Severn Vale. The 8km loop tackles moderate inclines with some steeper sections – manageable for older children but not suitable for buggies. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Rewards you with quintessential Cotswold scenery, ancient woodlands, and panoramic hilltop vistas that showcase why this area earned National Landscape status.

Wotton-under-Edge Cotswold Gateway Route 3

Loops through classic Cotswold countryside with moderate climbs onto the escarpment edge, rewarding with sweeping views across the Severn Vale. Mixed terrain includes field paths, woodland tracks and quiet lanes with some stiles. Not suitable for buggies; older children who can manage 10km will enjoy it. Dogs welcome but livestock present in fields seasonally. The panoramic viewpoints and varied landscape make this a proper Cotswolds sampler without crowds.

Cotswold Way (Stinchcombe Hill by pass)

Bypasses the main Cotswold Way route around Stinchcombe Hill, offering flatter terrain than the hilltop alternative—ideal for families with buggies or those wanting easier going. Dogs welcome on this clear, well-maintained path through gentle farmland and woodland edges. Choose this if you prefer consistent flat walking over climbing, though you'll miss the panoramic Severn Vale views from the summit that make the main route special.
