Family Walks in the Cotswolds for 2025

Want to walk in the Cotswolds with your kids? These are our favourite tried and tested walks for the whole family

We love to explore the countryside by getting out for a walk in the Cotswolds with the kids –  from charming villages to rolling hills, seeing the Cotswold countryside by foot is one of the best experiences to have in the area, and our family hiking guides will help you find the perfect walk to suit your family.

Navigating walk takes a whole new twist when kids are in tow; ensuring that paths aren’t overly lengthy, have places with natural play zones en route, and perhaps culminating with a playground or tempting ice-cream finale – these become the essentials for keeping little ones motivated and getting outside in nature enjoyable for all.

Our list below has all the best walks we have done as a family, giving you the low down so you can get out and enjoy the trails too.
