Tucked away in the rolling countryside of Gloucestershire, these walks from Chedworth explore a lovely mix of woodland paths, open farmland and quiet Cotswold village lanes.

The walks guide you through the peaceful surroundings of Chedworth Woods before opening out to sweeping countryside views and gently winding lanes that lead into the heart of the village.

From here, the routes pass the historic church and continue across fields and woodland as they loop back towards the starting point. Along the way you’ll also pass the well-known Roman Villa hidden within the woods, where a nearby tearoom offers a welcome place to pause.

With a few hills and some steeper stretches, these walks provide a rewarding way to discover this beautiful corner of the Cotswolds.

Easy parking at roman villa. Pleasant walk up to the village and back. Roman villa cafe well stocked for a light lunch.

Walker review

Its up a big hill, down a big hill twice! Lots of off lead for dogs, check for livestock Pub en route is shut down.

Walker review

Classic Cotswolds walk. Moderate uphill but otherwise fairly level on clear paths. Pity some inconsiderate dog owners allow their pets to foul paths rather than pick up their mess.

Walker review

Great moderate walk from the Roman Villa to the village and back. Lovely pub. Generally easy going but a big muddy in places.

Lovely picturesque walk alongsude the River Coln where the dogs could have a paddle then into beautiful woodland. The food at the pub in Chedworth was really good.

Great walk. The right turn at the end if the long gravel track just after the house was overgrown so it wasnt easy to spot.
