Bourton-on-the-Water is an extremely popular village, known as the Venice of the Cotswolds due to the many elegant bridges which span the River Windrush as it flows through the centre. There are many fine houses and quaint cottages, all of honey-coloured Cotswold limestone, which are set back from the river by a wide area of lawn.
From Bourton-on-the Water, the walk heads around several lakes, created by gravel extraction, which now are part of a nature reserve, then makes a modest climb up to the much smaller, but equally charming village of Little Rissington. The waterside theme to the walk then returns, as it descends to meet the Windrush and then follows it back into and right through the centre of Bourton-on-the-Water.
