- Wonderfull hand-drawn "Wainwright -Like" guide
The above book description is a fair comment. This is a classic "English walk" from Chipping Campden via Broadway, Winchcombe, Painswick, Stroud along 104 miles of winding ridge top trail to Bath. There are 26 hand-drawn 1:25,000 scale maps that show clearly every style, gate and fence along the route. They are accompanied by fine "Wainwright style" drawing of views and buildings along the way. And even one of his wife "Helen emerging from the Beacon Lane thicket" on Map 22. His description of the route is very detailed, but its nice just to follow the maps and refer to the text if you seem a bit lost.
If you want colour maps (at the same scale) and colour photographs I suggest you try "The Cotswold Way" OS Recreational Path Guide by Anthony Burton. Or be like me and buy both!
