Cotswold Way Beginning & End Stone at Chipping Campden

Ramblers in Gloucestershire have had a long association with the Cotswold Way. When we learned that plans were afoot for a marker stone in the Market Square, highlighting many of the towns and villages along the way, we naturally felt we should be involved. Such a stone doesn’t come cheap, so together with Central Office we’ve pledged support from our Waymarker fund. (Although at 1.4metres diameter it’s slightly larger than a standard marker!)T

The project is to allow walkers travelling the route to feel they’ve reached a start or finish point. There is already a similar stone in Bath. The unveiling ceremony was at Noon Saturday 8th November and details of the Stone are here CCflyer v5

At the same time the old beginning end marker stone was relocated as can be seen

After a very wet walk from Dovers Hill led by the Cotswold Way Wardens, the Chipping Campden Mayor performed the unveiling ceremony
