“Lovely towns and villages to visit, accommodation to enjoy, walking not too challenging, all helped by warm, dry weather. A well thought out walk linking some of the Cotswolds' loveliest towns and villages, using a series of well-established and waymarked routes - Monarch's Way, Warden's Way, Windrush Way, Cotswold Way, etc. We've been on 15 Contours holidays, starting in 2010, and never been disappointed.”Mr Parkinson, UK
“The hike in the Cotswolds was great! We really enjoyed the shorter hiking days and having time to enjoy the villages/towns where we stayed. Your staff was very receptive to our questions during the planning process and quick to respond. Even the weather was awesome!”Mrs Stamm, USA
