Cotswold Way - Definition

The Cotswold Way is a long-distance footpath, running along the escarpment of the Cotswold hills in England. The hundred-mile long trail runs northeast from Bath to Chipping Campden. The footpath runs through or near to the towns of Chipping Sodbury, Wotton-under-Edge, Dursley, Stroud, Painswick, Cheltenham, Winchcombe and Broadway. It passes numerous places of interest, including the Tyndale Monument, Sudeley Castle and Hailes Abbey.

Besides being popular with walkers, it is presently run annually as a 10-stage relay (Cotswold Way Relay) from North to South, usually in early July. The winning team typically takes an aggregate time of about 12 hours.
