Donnington Brewery brews real ale in the very heart of the Cotswolds and maintains 15 public houses in what must be one of the country's most perfect areas. For many, the name of Donnington means more than good beer; its a whole way of life. The Donnington Way is a 62 mile walk linking these pubs in a circular path through rural Gloucestershire.

It is possible to join the route at any point of your choice, but the guide starts and ends at the ancient Market Place at Stow-on-the-Wold.
