Winchcombe is a Cotswold town in the local authority district of Tewkesbury, in Gloucestershire, England. Its population according to the 2011 census was 4,538. The Belas Knap Neolithic long barrow on a hilltop above Winchcombe, was constructed from about 3000 BC. Later, during Anglo-Saxon times, Winchcombe was a chief city of Mercia favoured by Coenwulf; the others being Lichfield and Tamworth. Subsequently, during the 11th century, the town was briefly the county town of Winchcombeshire. The Anglo-Saxon saint St. Kenelm is believed to be buried in the town.

During the Anarchy of the 12th century, a motte-and-bailey castle was erected in the early 1140s by Roger Fitzmiles, 2nd Earl of Hereford for the Empress Matilda, although the exact site of this is unknown;. It has been suggested however, that it was to the south of St Peter's Church. In the Restoration period, Winchcombe was noted for cattle rustling and other lawlessness, caused in part by poverty. In an attempt to earn a living, local people grew tobacco as a cash crop, despite this practice having been outlawed since the Commonwealth. Soldiers were sent in on at least one occasion to destroy the illegal crop.

In Winchcombe and the immediate vicinity can be found Sudeley Castle and the remains of Hailes Abbey, which was one of the main centres of pilgrimages in Britain due to a phial possessed by the monks said to contain the Blood of Christ. There is nothing left of the now-vanished Winchcombe Abbey. St Peter's Church in the centre of the town is noted for its grotesques. The Michelin star restaurant 5 North Street is in Winchcombe.

Winchcombe sits on six long-distance footpaths: The Cotswold Way, the Gloucestershire Way, the Wychavon Way, St Kenelm's Trail, St Kenelm's Way, the Warden's Way and the Windrush Way. Winchcombe became a member of the Walkers are Welcome network of towns in July 2009 and now holds a walking festival every May.

Winchcombe was once served by a railway line, a relative latecomer in British railway history, which was opened in 1906 by the Great Western Railway. The line ran from Stratford-upon-Avon to Cheltenham and was part of a main line from Birmingham to the South West and South Wales. Winchcombe railway station and most others on the section closed in March 1960. Through passenger services continued on this line until March 1968, and goods until 1976 when a derailment at Winchcombe damaged the line. It was decided not to bring the section back into use and by the early 1980s it had been dismantled. The stretch between Toddington and Cheltenham Racecourse, including Winchcombe, has since been reconstructed and reopened as a heritage railway called the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway. A new railway station has been erected at Winchcombe, on its original site, the building being the former station at Monmouth ((Troy) railway station). Nearby is the 693 yard (634 m) Greet Tunnel, the second longest on any preserved line in Britain.

Discover England's Great Walking Trails - The Cotswold Way

The Cotswold Way winds through the historic Cotswolds, home to rolling green hills, picturesque villages and castles and finishes in the historic city of Bath. This short video shows what you can expect to see along the way.

Commissioned by Marketing Peak District and Visit England, a video was created to promote 7 of England's long distance walking trails. Each video aims to showcase highlights of each trail, whilst conveying some of the experience of walking the trail.

Filming the video series was fantastic. We travelled up and down the UK, visiting some beautiful areas and national parks and all the videos were filmed in 6 weeks.

Walking The Cotswold Way

The Cotswold Way is a National Trail through quintessential England. You will walk through an eternally green landscape, punctuated by some of the most delightful villages in the country. We offer several different itineraries so you can make the most of your time in this wonderful region. For more information, check our website at -

Cotswolds Walking Tour

Think of a typical image of England and you have the Cotswolds walking tours in England, scattered with dreamy, medieval villages built of honey-colored stone houses and thatched cottages, fields surrounded by stone walls and knitted together with winding country lanes.

We walk along footpaths which, during the middle ages, were trodden by sheep drovers and their flocks on their way to shearing and market towns like Chipping Campden. Cotswolds comes from “cots” meaning stone sheep shelters and “wold” meaning rolling hills. We look forward to being your hosts, to climbing up and walking along escarpments to admire the truly enchanting countryside

Among the highlights are visits to Blenheim Palace, birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill with a landscaped park by Capability Brown, formal gardens at Sudeley castle where the Catheirne Parr, 6th wife King Henry VIII is buried, the ruins of Hailes Abbey, raided and destroyed by Henry’s soldiers. Roman influence also ran deep in England and after our pretty walk to Chedworth Roman Villa you can really step back in time and let your imagination run wild.

Cotswold Way 2016

On the Cotswold Way and Cleeve Hill

A 21km (13 mile) circular walk following part of the Cotswold Way near Cheltenham on a warm day in early spring. We visited Cleeve Hill - the highest point in the Cotswolds - and also Belas Knap, a 5,000-year-old neolithic long barrow (tomb). We set off from the village of Whittington and walked a clockwise route, which was full of interest and surprises. It took about 5 hours including picnic stops.
