Discover 164 kilometres of the Cotswold Escarpment with a walk along Cotswold Way. Hike past historic sites in Cotswolds AONB, including Hailes Abbey and the Roman Baths in Bath. Ramble through small villages and rolling countryside, then extend the visit with a stay in a grassy tent pitch or cosy glamping tent on private lands within the area.
Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
Park the caravan in a private field site or pitch a tent on a family-run farm for an overnight retreat in nature at Malvern Hills AONB.
