Cotswold Way itineraries
Most people start with the 9-day plan. We publish 4–9 walking days.

|---|---|---|
 4 days Endurance The dash, sleeping only at Cleeve Hill, Painswick and Hawkesbury Upton. | 25.5 mi 41 km | 31.2 mi 50.2 km |
| 5 days Challenge A fast walk through Winchcombe, Birdlip, King's Stanley and Hawkesbury Upton. | 20.4 mi 32.8 km | 24.3 mi 39.0 km |
| 7 days Express Drops the Painswick night, so Birdlip to King's Stanley is one day and the finish stays long. | 14.6 mi 23.4 km | 18.6 mi 30.0 km |
| 8 days Compact Joins Old Sodbury and Cold Ashton into one night at Tormarton, so the finish stays the long day. | 12.7 mi 20.5 km | 17.0 mi 27.4 km |
| 9 days Classic Usual start The first full walk, with the finish kept as the short day from Cold Ashton. | 11.3 mi 18.2 km | 15.2 mi 24.4 km |
Distances follow the trail's GPS route. Walking to your stay adds extra distance. A shorter plan is the same route with nights joined.
