It includes a 1:25 000 Ordnance Survey mapping marked with points of interest along the route; full color photographs throughout; background information on local history, wildlife, archaeology, and landscape; and comprehensive useful information section. This 100-mile route starts out in the picturesque village of Chipping Camden, taking the walker through a landscape of steep escarpments, bare plateaux, and wooded valleys, and passing a number of important historical sites en route, before descending into the Severn Valley and ending at the city of Bath. Whether you are walking the trail from end to end or exploring a part of it, you will find this easy-to-use guide indispensable.

An amazing turn by turn description of the 103 mile hike down (in this case) the Cotswold Way.

Maybe I'll rate it after I see whether or not we get lost along the Way.

Although good, I feel this guide lacks useful information about accommodation and food which I found in other National Trail guides.
