Cotswold Way - Uley

The village of Uley is situated on the Cotswold escarpment, on the road between Stroud and Dursley. The population is around 1,100, but was much greater during the early years of the industrial revolution, when the village was renowned for producing blue cloth. The placename (recorded as Euuelege in the Domesday Book) probably signifies 'clearing in a yew wood'. The village once had a large number of pubs (around 14) and until the 1970s there was also a butcher's shop and a petrol station, but now only one pub and a small village shop remains.

The Cotswold Way

The Cotswold Way is a long distance walking trail that spans over 102 miles (164km) of beautiful English countryside. With more than 20 stops, it passes through many picturesque villages and runs close to a significant number of historical sites such as Hailes Abbey, Sudeley Castle and the Neolithic Burial Chamber at Belas Knap. In 2007, it was formally recognized as a National Trail and has long been considered as an essentially English experience.
