The Cotswold Way is one of Britain’s most popular walking trails. The Cotswold Way Association (CWA) is a charity created in 2016 by volunteers from the Cotswold Wardens and the Ramblers. Our aim is to ensure the best loved trails in the Cotswolds do not fall into disrepair.

The CWA commissions work to make improvements – the work being carried out by local volunteer organisations where possible, with the CWA paying for expenses and materials.

As a charity, we rely on funding from numerous sources to allow us to continue. Without funding from our Sponsors and Business Members it would be much harder to fund the improvements to the Cotswold Way in which we take pride. We are ever grateful for their support.

With a backdrop of cuts in public spending and resources we operate the CWA as a no frills, low cost operation – we spend your money where it needs to be spent – on the trails. The CWA engages with users to identify possible trail improvements over and above the basic maintenance requirements.
