Join us in the Cotswolds across two full days of hiking, covering roughly 19 miles in total, where our route creates one of the most scenic wild camping hill journeys in the Cotswolds, ideal for those trekkers seeking a deeper, more immersive wild camping experience, with the comfort of our team sleeping in a location with landowners permission. In the late afternoon of your journey you’ll set up camp in a discreet, low-impact hilltop location tucked away from villages and footpaths, cook on camp stoves and enjoy the evening with your team.

Our intimate, small-group journey keeps the experience personal and authentic to our vision at Walk Wild. With a group size capped at 5 people, whether you’re drawn to the sweeping hilly ridgelines, the quiet woodland paths, or the magic of sleeping on top of a secluded hill, our Cotswolds journey is a unique wild camping experience and exclusive to Walk Wild.

I’d like to stay in Wotton Under Edge the night before, are there any hotels in town? Yes numerous, we advise to arrive the night before to get good rest and to avoid rushing and/or being late. The Swan Hotel, or various Airbnb are located nearby, or stay in Nibley or Dursley and take a short taxi to the start point on the morning of the trip.

What food shall I bring? The basics will be one full camp meal and then snacks for brekky on Day 2. We’ll be hiking to a cafe on Sunday morning for a larger brekky if you want one - Firepot Food and Real Turmat are great options for main evening camp meals on Saturday. Please also bring your own teas, coffees or hot chocolates. On day one we’ll have many options to top up water, get extra food and snacks along the way. Day two at the cafe breakfast location there will be small shops to re-supply food and then none until the end so after that you’ll need to be carrying all day hike food that will have to last you until the end.
