We have been lucky enough to discover the creative talents of Chad Williams and Carey Wodehouse from the USA and they were keen to walk in the Cotswolds following on from previous adventures in the UK. They have kindly allowed us to share their self-guided walking experience by producing 7 humorous and inspiring videos to capture their time with us. We hope you enjoy and please let us have your feedback on our YouTube channel.
A new video will be released each week to take you through the holiday season and into the New Year.
