The Cotswold Hills provide a feast of hidden valleys and quaint villages. From Bath, use the Kennet and Avon Canal to walk towards Bathford before following footpaths along the Bybrook Valley towards Box and join the Macmillan Way towards the delightful villages of Slaughterford, Ford and Castle Combe.
Alternatively, follow the Kennet and Avon Canal along the Avon Valley and make the walk into a circular route at Dundas Aqueduct. Follow the Limestone Link and return to Bath through the converted railway path of the Two Tunnels Greenway. You could also head along the canal footpath to Bradford-on-Avon, crossing the iconic Dundas and Avoncliffe Aqueducts on a stretch of canal buzzing with wildlife, including kingfishers!
