Written by Mark Richards (well-known long distance walker) in his own very special style pointing out the history behind what is seen, showing the reader in illustration the beauty of the Cotswolds and drawing maps so detailed that it would be difficult to get lost even on purpose!. The maps show both the standard way along with the planned official direction changes making it fully up-to-date and usable for many years to come. It features a cover design from a painting of the Cotswolds by the internationally famous David Bellamy and is the official guide used on "The Cotswold Way Relay Race".

This guide presents the opportunity to take a grand eight-mile circular walk, starting from Stow-on-the-Wold and visiting all the nearby villages. The overall distance may be divided into several shorter excursions. Another title from the Cotswold publisher, Reardon.
