We'll be basing our 10 day stay in the Cotswolds in Bourton on the Water. Can anyone recommend the best available source of maps and information re daily walks in and around various Cotswold towns? Thanks!!

Here's a couple of free sources to be getting on with:

Starting out from Bourton, The Slaughters walk is a well known trail which you may end up doing more than once. A couple of the ales at the Slaughters Country Inn are first rate.

The best maps in my opinion are the Ordnance Survey maps- here is the Cotswolds one: https://shop.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/map-of-the-cotswolds/
You can also download the app for free, and if you purchase the paper map you get a code to download the corresponding map on the app which can then be used offline, along with GPS, so you can see where you are even when you don't have a mobile phone signal.

The Ordnance Survey Pathfinder books have mapped walking routes. There is a Cotswolds one.
There so many suggested walking routes online. If you get an Ordnance Survey map of the area it will help you follow any routes that you like the look of.
