  • Castle Combe Village - Start off visiting the fairy-tale village of Castle Combe. Undoubtedly the jewel in the crown of the southern Cotswolds.
  • Lacock Abbey - Continue on to Lacock. This is the charming village, home to a wonderful Abbey and many small artisan shops. A place where Harry Potter, Pride and Prejudice and many movies and TV shows have been filmed.
  • Bibury - We then head up to the central Cotswolds, to the iconic Arlington Row in Bibury. With its crystal clear waters and wonderful old Cotswold cottages.
  • Burford Library - Heading on to the town of Burford, often called the ‘Gateway to the Cotswolds’. A very iconic town and home to one of the most beautiful and ancient churches in the region. Stories aplenty! This is also an ideal place to have a spot of lunch.
  • Stow-on-the-Wold Market Square - After lunch we drive north to Stow-on-the-Wold, the highest town in the Cotswolds. Here you’ll have time to browse among honey-coloured buildings, cosy pubs, narrow streets, interesting shops and tiny tea rooms.
  • Bourton on the Water Visitor Information Centre - Our next stop is arguably the most famous Cotswolds town and regularly voted one of the prettiest villages in England; Bourton-on-the-Water. Known as the ‘Venice of the Cotswolds’ there is plenty to see and do with a wealth of attractions, shops, restaurants and tea rooms.
  • Lower Slaughter Museum - Finishing off at England’s most romantic village - Lower Slaughter. Without a doubt one of the most picturesque villages in the whole of the Cotswolds.
