Walking from Chipping Campden to Bath?

If you are walking the Cotswold Way South (Chipping Campden to Bath) we aim to collect and deliver your luggage daily between 9am and 6.00pm for all stops except Bath. For Bath, due to pedestrianisation and new traffic management processes introduced in Bath in 2020, we now guarantee bags by 6.30pm. If for whatever reason, we are unable to get your bag to you on time, we will contact your accommodation and let them know. We always try to be on time, but sometimes, traffic jams, accidents and unforseen events can make us a little bit late!

Walking from Bath to Chipping Campden?

Our Carryabag HQ is located in Cheltenham, therefore if you are walking the Cotswold Way North (Bath to Chipping Campden) we aim to collect and deliver your luggage daily between 9am and 6.30pm for all stops except Bath. The majority of walkers travel north to south, which makes Bath our last location of the day.  Due to pedestrianisation and new traffic management processes introduced in Bath in 2020, it can take us several hours to get in and out of Bath, so we cannot guarantee a time for your first stop out of Bath. 

We operate from Chipping Campden to Bath so if your luggage is North of Cheltenham it will be one of the first transfers of the day, however if you are staying South of Cheltenham it will be one of the last transfers of the day. We do always try to be on time, but sometimes timings can depend on the rush hour traffic and of course the volume of bags we have had to transfer during the day. We will always try to let you or your accommodation know if there are any major delays.

If you want to make a change to your itinerary, let us know of any changes as far in advance as possible and we will do our best to accommodate these. Don't worry, if something happens and you need to change your itinerary in the middle of your holiday, we can sort this out for you and just change your itinerary accordingly.
