Hit The Shires: A Circular Walk In The Cotswolds From Kingham Station

Vespucci's stunning hiking packs are made up of an OS based map and guidebook that contains everything you need for a great day out.

Vespucci's hiking packs make great gifts for Mothers' and Fathers' Day, birthdays, wedding presents and Christmas presents. We have tried to think of everything to encourage the recipient to get outside on a beautiful walk with family, friends or colleagues. There will be a cafe near the start, pub towards the end, great views and interesting places to see along the way. Most walks can be accessed directly by train. All the walks are based on local knowledge and are aimed at those who need some inspiration to get up and out!

With village names like Bledington, Adlestrop, Upper and Lower Oddington, this is a journey into the heart of the Cotswolds. At 22kms, it is a fair distance but the hills are undulating rather than steep. The views are outstanding punctuated by stunning country houses and churches. As you would expect from a Vespucci curated walk, there are two excellent coffee stops as well as two stunning pubs with accommodation. Starting at Kingham Station, the walk takes you to Daylesford and onto Chasterton House. There's an excellent short cut to reach The Oddington's for lunch and the option of a taxi back if time gets away from you.
