HistoryThe White Walls Way passes through rolling Cotswold countryside which is full of evidence of human activities across the ages. Iron-age, Roman, and Saxon settlements; the last-resting place of the first king of England; medieval Churches; civil war battlescars; Georgian architecture; Victorian industry; and the legacy of two world wars - all this and more can be found along the route.
The trail is named after the site of a Roman town known as 'Whitewalls'. The remains and more information about the site can be found about halfway along the route of Stage 6. |
