“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 country was lovely, the lodgings were great and interesting and old. The food was lovely as were the people we met. This is our fourth walking holiday with you and it was very well waymarked.
