Cotswold Way (Selsley Common route)

Alternative (longer and tougher, but more scenic) route from Ryeford to just south of Kings Stanley, over Selsley Common.

At 5.4 km, this is a comfortable half-day walk for most hikers. At an average walking pace, plan for roughly 1 hour and 12 minutes.

As a linear trail, this route has distinct start and end points. Return transport is worth arranging in advance unless you plan to walk back the same way. Follow the CW waymarkers throughout to stay on the official trail line.

As a National Walking Network (NWN) trail, this route represents a nationally recognised hiking corridor. Infrastructure and waymarking are maintained at a high standard.
