Walkers are advised to book their accommodation in advance, and note that beds are at a premium during the race week of the Cheltenham Festival (in March) and when the Badminton Horse Trials take place (late April/May).

There are very few facilities for campers along the Cotswold Way, although a few bed-and-breakfast establishments do allow camping in their grounds. Consult the national trail website mentioned above for details.

Facilities en route

Chipping Campden High Street

Each of the towns along the way, and most of the villages en route, have places where it’s possible to buy food or meals. Check the Trek Planner at the front of this guidebook before you finalise your itinerary and decide whether or not to pack supplies for a day’s walking.

There are banks where you can top up your cash on the route at Chipping Campden, Broadway, Winchcombe, Dursley, Wotton-under-Edge and Bath.

Baggage transfer service

If the prospect of carrying a heavy rucksack the full length of the Cotswold Way is rather forbidding, there are a few companies who will transfer your baggage for you from one overnight accommodation stop to the next. See Appendix A for a selection of companies currently providing this service.
