Description
The day begins in Castle Combe, which is surely one of the most photographed villages in all of England. Little has changed here since the 15th century - no street lights or TV aerials. This mediaeval gem is famous for its picturesque cottages and babbling brook.
Cirencester is a vibrant town in the heart of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Beauty and affectionately known as the ‘Capital of the Cotswolds. Founded by the Romans, a powerful Abbey in the Middle Ages, and a thriving market town for centuries ever since. Explore the many independent stores, colourful lanes and impressive church.
Enjoy a traditional lunch at an historic inn.
Thereafter we continue our journey through the heart of the Cotswolds by visiting some picturesque, hand-picked villages and locations, which are deliberately kept secret. We will avoid the now overrun locations, which have been affected by mass tourism from London. Trust our local expertise to show you the real Cotswolds, give you a unique experience, and to stay ahead of the tour buses and bloggers!
The Cotswolds is famous for it’s quintessentially English country gardens – this peaceful location (also a secret) will certainly charm you. Please note, an alternative stop will be suggested during the shoulder autumn/winter season!
