A Business Built on Outdoor Experience
Cotswold Outdoor was founded in 1974 by Tony Ingham and Charlie Barwell. The business began with a focus on good-quality outdoor equipment and practical advice based on personal experience.
It has grown into a specialist outdoor retailer with an online shop and UK stores. The wider group also operates Runners Need and Snow+Rock, covering running, hiking, camping and other outdoor pursuits.
