Walking the Entire Cotswold Way - Leckhampton Hill to Birdlip
The Cotswold Way – a truly beautiful National Trail stretching just over 100 miles. It begins in the charming market town of Chipping Campden, meanders south through the heart of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and finishes in the historic City of Bath.
Join me on this series every Sunday as I set out to walk and film every single step of this stunning trail, sharing the entire journey with you from start to finish.
Part 7: Leckhampton Hill to Birdlip – 7.08 miles (11.4 km)
From Leckhampton Hill, we’ll follow peaceful tracks, lanes, and paths that guide us into the heart of Crickley Hill Country Park. Here, we’ll pause to enjoy its stunning viewpoints and delve into its rich history, with archaeological discoveries hinting at human activity across the ages.
The trail then meanders across the rolling grasslands of Barrow Wake, offering sweeping vistas, before leading us into a stretch of woodland. Emerging from the trees, we’ll arrive at the quiet village of Birdlip, marking the end of this section.
With 425 feet (130 metres) of ascent and 425 feet (130 metres) of descent, this segment offers a harmonious mix of history, nature, and tranquil scenery.

About Dave's Walks
Hi there, I‘m Dave! I've lived in the English Countryside all my life, and I love it! I enjoy walking, and couldn’t help but notice just how beautiful the UK can be away from the cities. I found myself inspired and decided to get some camera equipment and make some walking videos so I can share my walks of the beautiful countryside with everyone!
I mainly focus on small towns, villages, picturesque landscapes, rolling hills and mountains, forests and canals, all along the coastlines in England, Scotland, Wales, and who knows maybe one day further afar!

It really does help me so much! Not just coffee but also things like petrol, car maintenance, overnight stays in places, parking tickets, admission and entry fees to places I wouldn’t normally go to, it really does go a long way helping me make content for everyone!

I use Davinci Resolve Studio 19 to do some really basic editing. Mainly making sure the sky isn't over exposed. It's from Camera straight to YouTube. No cuts, no fancy business, no talking, just walking.
