Cotswold Walking Weekends

The organised Walking Weekends are led by experienced Cotswold Wardens, all of whom have a wealth of local knowledge, which they will readily share with you.

The walks vary in length, taking in some undulating and rough ground, but all of them are suitable for the moderately fit (although you may encounter many stiles). Saturday’s walk is usually 11–12 miles, whilst Sunday’s is approximately 8 miles – enabling you to return to the hotel for departure by mid or late afternoon.

Walks from Three Ways House would typically take in the beautiful stretch up to Kiftsgate Court and Hidcote Manor, walking on up to Lark Stoke where the views are stunning, dropping down into the village of Ilmington, through to the Foxcote Estate and Ebrington (known to the locals as Yubberton) and then walk back to Mickleton through Hidcote Boyce and down Bakers Hill.

This is generally how our Cotswold walking weekends work (with seasonal variations):

Friday

Arrive at your leisure on Friday afternoon. The Pudding Club meeting kicks off at 7.30 with a drinks reception when your host will explain the history and rules of the club. You will then have a choice of three light main courses before the highlight of the evening, a parade of 7 traditional puddings, which might include Spotted Dick, Sussex Pond or Lord Randalls. You will be invited up to the Pudding Buffet until you say enough! Relax over coffee and cast your vote for the ‘Pudding of the Night’.

Saturday

After a good night’s sleep you will be ready for breakfast and a chance to start walking off the puddings. Leave the hotel by 9.15 for today’s walk, which will be approximately 11 miles long. Put your best foot forward and you should be back for 3.30 ish. After a relaxing bath or shower, sit by the fire with a cup of tea or enjoy a pint of beer in Randalls. Dinner in the evening will be in our main restaurant, a fulfilling 3–course affair. Retire to the lounge for coffee or Randalls Bar for a nightcap.

Sunday

Start Sunday morning with a hearty English breakfast. Today’s walk will start from the hotel and will be about 8 miles, arriving back at the hotel by 2.30 ish. The format of both weekends will be familiar to those of you who have enjoyed a walking weekend with us before.
