Walking In The Cotswolds

The Wysis Way

The Wysis Way provides a link between the Rivers Wye, Severn and Thames and between the two National Trails of Offa's Dyke Path and The Thames Path.

The route runs for 55 miles from Offa's Dyke at Monmouth through the Forest of Dean rising up to the Cotswold Hills and ending at the source of the River Thames at Trewsbury Meadow. Other long distance routes are connected including the Severn Way,  the Gloucestershire Way and the Cotswold Way.

Clean Up After Your Dog

Be sure to keep to the correct rights of way

Follow the coloured arrows that will guide you along the correct route. They can be found on gateposts, trees and stiles, they can be metal, plastic or painted, but always look around you to find them as the signs may be damaged or faded. All public footpaths on explorer maps are marked with a green dashed line and national trails and long distance paths are in green with diamond shapes linking the dashes.
