Set on the border of Gloucestershire / Wiltshire, the Cotswold Water Park is an area of 40 square miles, with over 140 lakes formed as a result of gravel extraction. Many of the lakes have been restored and now provide an exciting destination for all, whether you are looking for watersports or wildlife, angling or accommodation. The purpose of this Access Map is to identify where all the paths and routes are within the area - for walkers, cyclists, horseriders and those with buggies or mobility scooters. Rather than show set walks and routes, the choice is yours to explore and discover a different side to the Cotswold Water Park. Routes which have obstacles such as stiles, bridges and steps have been shown, along with places where extra caution is required.

Parking: Free parking is available in the Car Parks marked . Please do not park in gateways or anywhere that may obstruct other road users.
Dogs: As many of these routes pass near or through Nature Reserves, farmland and other wildlife areas, please keep your dog on the path, and on a lead where necessary.
Mud and flood alert! In wet weather, some of the routes, particularly those near the River Thames can be very muddy and sometimes flooded – please make sure you have adequate footwear and take extra care.
