This 86 mile walking route across the Cotswolds from Banbury to Bath has been devised by
the Macmillan Way Association and is based largely on the Cotswold section
of the 290 mile coast to coast Macmillan Way. However, the Cross-Cotswold
starting and finishing sections have been specially planned to provide
walkers with the best possible bus and train links to the northern and
southern ends of the Cotswolds; hence the Banbury start and Bath finish.
The route follows existing footpaths, bridleways and byways and small
stretches of minor roads when these are unavoidable. From Banbury it
heads westward across the rolling Oxfordshire Cotswolds, soon passing
lovely Broughton Castle. It then follows the course of a Roman road
almost to the village of Epwell, where it joins the Macmillan Way, the
course of which will then be followed all the way to Box in Wiltshire.
From Box the route heads westward and crosses the Avon before joing
the Kennet and Avon canal towpath which it follows into Bath.
