Описание книги

Guidebook to walking the Cotswold Way National Trail between Chipping Campden and Bath, across the Cotswolds AONB – which includes both a guide to the route and a separate mapping booklet. The 102 mile (163km) route is described in both directions over 13 stages, of between 6 and 10 miles, depending on the existence of overnight accommodation. Camping options are sparse along the route.
This guidebook is illustrated with maps and the author's own full-colour photographs. The stage-by-stage route description is accompanied by overview maps at a scale of 1:100,000 (1cm to 1 mile). A more detailed map of the Way is supplied in booklet form, at a scale of 1:25,000, slid into the back of the book.
The Cotswold Way became a National Trail in May 2007, despite having been a much-loved walking route for more than 35 years. It follows the Cotswold escarpment, with dramatic and far-reaching views across the Severn Vale towards the Welsh hills, plunging down to visit honey-coloured villages, old market towns and the elegant and historic city of Bath.

About the Author

Kev Reynolds is a prolific author of guidebooks whose first title for Cicerone Press (Walks and Climbs in the Pyrenees ) was published in 1978 and has remained in print ever since. Although most of his guides are devoted to mountain regions such as the Alps, Pyrenees and Himalaya, he considers the more gentle landscapes of the English countryside to be no second best, and says that every day spent among them is a gift to cherish. A member of the Alpine Club, Austrian Alpine Club, and an Honorary Life Member of the Outdoor Writers and Photographers Guild, his passion for mountains in particular and the countryside in general remains undiminished after a lifetime’s activity, and he regularly travels throughout Britain to share that enthusiasm through his lectures.

Occasionally grid references are quoted to allow you to locate a given position on the OS map, which is divided by a series of vertical and horizontal lines to create a grid (the British National Grid). Each of these lines is allocated a number which is quoted at the top, bottom and either side of the map sheet. Numbers increase from left to right for vertical lines (eastings), and from bottom to top for horizontal lines (northings).

To identify an exact position on the map from a grid reference, take the first two digits from the six-figure number quoted – these refer to the ‘eastings’ line on the OS sheet. The third digit is calculated in tenths of the square moving from left to right. Next, take the fourth and fifth digits, which refer to the ‘northings’ line, and finally take the sixth and last digit to estimate the number of tenths in the northing square moving up the sheet.
