Cotswold Way

[+Kelsborrow Wayfinders]

We are walking the Cotswold Way in June and wondered if anyone had any experience of caches along the route. As we will be walking about 12 miles a day we obviously don't want to walk too far off the trail but thought it would be good fun to pick up some caches if it didn't involve too much extra energy! Had a look at the GCUK site which is an excellent guide but wondered about personal experience.

I'm not sure which caches are close to the Cotswold Way but I can give you recommendations of the Bath to Bibury area if you let me know which ones you're interested in?

Thanks. The route starts at Chipping Camden and goes through Broadway, Winchcombe, Charlton Kings, Painswick, Dursley, Hawkesbury Upton, Pennsylvania and finishes in Bath. We are relying on foot transport throughout so would only have time to do ones close to the path. Possible caches we have spotted are Broadway Base, Belas Knap, Leckhampton Ridge, Barrel Makers Hill and The Lost Hare. We would be able to do city centre ones in Bath but Bibury is a bit out of our range.

I've been through there!

 

It actually surprises me that there arn't more caches in the Cotswolds - they're very picturesque.
