The word “wold” refers to a hilly or rolling region. The Cotswold area is a series of hills that rise to a steep slope, known as the Cotswold Edge. The 102-mile Cotswold Way National Trail runs along this escarpment, passing through many quaint villages.
During our time of Trekking the Planet, we have taken several extended trips. So we know what it is like to plan and pack for a long journey. But planning and packing for this year’s Trekking the British Isles adventure is much different.
This year we are circumnavigating the British Isles to trek 700 miles over a four month period. We are traversing some of the region’s iconic national trails on eight multiple-day hikes. Along the way, we will visit cultural attractions, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, national parks, and Areas of Outstanding Beauty.
