Bourton-on-the-Water to Little Rissington and Wyck Rissington circular loop

The public footpath from Bourton-on-the-Water to the quieter villages of Little Rissington and Wyck Rissington captures the essence of the Cotswolds countryside. Winding past gentle streams and small lakes, the trail meanders through open farmers’ fields where sheep and cattle graze against a backdrop of rolling hills. Far less crowded than Bourton itself, the route offers peace, solitude, and a glimpse of timeless rural England. Stone walls and hedgerows frame the way, while the sound of running water and birdsong follows you along the path. It’s a walk that connects history, landscape, and village life in a single journey.
