The Gloucestershire Way is a long-distance footpath, in the English country of Gloucestershire. It was devised by Gerry and Kate Stewart, of the Ramblers Association and Tewkesbury Walking Club. The 100 mile route which uses existing Rights of Way, goes from Tutshill, just north of Chepstow, crosses the river Severn at Gloucester, proceeding then to Tewkesbury, with a 'Worcestershire Way Link'.

In detail the stages are:Chepstow to Parkend - 13.5 miles:Parkend to May Hill - 14 miles:May Hill to Gloucester - 13 miles:Gloucester to Crickley - 12 miles:Crickley to Salperton - 12 miles:Salperton to Stow-on-the-Wold - 11 miles:Stow to Winchcombe - 13 miles:Winchcombe to Tewkesbury - 11.5 miles:Worcestershire Way Link - 12 miles.
