The Cotswold Way by Mark Richards
This revised 2006 edition, which has also been chosen as the official guide to the Cotswold Way relay race, describes the Cotswold Way from the best vantage point - on foot. This is another title from the Cotswold publisher, Reardon. Recommended by TV's "Wish You Were Here", this is the ultimate walking guide to the Cotswolds, "The Cotswold Way". This long distance walk is famous the world over, and rightly so, for it crosses the Cotswolds showing the land as it is seen best by foot. Written by Mark Richards (well-known long distance walker) in his own very special style pointing out the history behind what is seen, showing the reader in illustration the beauty of the Cotswolds and drawing maps so detailed that it would be difficult to get lost even on purpose!. The maps show both the standard way along with the planned official direction changes making it fully up-to-date and usable for many years to come. It features a cover design from a painting of the Cotswolds by the internationally famous David Bellamy and is the official guide used on "The Cotswold Way Relay Race".
