What better way to spend a leisurely few hours than to stretch your legs and visit a local pub? There are 20 circular routes in this book varying in length from 3 to 61/2 miles. At the heart of each is a renowned local pub - all of which have been recommended for their good food and warm welcome.

Explore the picture-postcard villages of Bourton-on-the-Water and Guiting Power, the quiet lanes above the Upper Frome Valley around Sapperton and Miserden, and the far-reaching views of the high wolds above Northleach and Hillesley.

You'll uncover golden stone cottages alongside tranquil rivers, sheltered valleys, ancient woodland and some spectacular views that make the classic English landscape of the Cotswolds such a great place to walk.
