Walking the Entire Cotswold Way - Painswick to Ryeford

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 9: Painswick to Ryeford – 7.7 miles (12.4 km) We begin this section by descending from Painswick to cross the Wash Brook, then climb up onto Edge Common, where we can enjoy lovely views back over Painswick. The trail leads us into woodland, emerging at Haresfield Beacon, an Iron Age hill fort with stunning views over the escarpment and River Severn. From here, we gently descend through Standish Woods, where spring brings vibrant displays of bluebells and wood anemone, and continue our journey into the Stroud Valleys. Along the way, we pass through peaceful cornfields, before finally reaching Ryeford, the end point of this section. With 1033 feet (315 metres) of ascent and 1082 feet (330 metres) of descent, this section offers a lovely mix of climbs, descents, and scenic countryside, making for a satisfying walk.

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!
