What
can I see?
- The
Cotswolds is one of the most beautiful rural areas of England
- Cheltenham
is a grand town of impressive Georgian buildings and picturesque
gardens
|  |  |
|
Situated between Oxford and South Wales,the Cotswolds is an area
of rolling hills, wooded valleys, fields of sheep and flowers,
and, the reason for its fame and popularity, wonderful honey-coloured
villages. Quintessential England! Cheltenham, the capital of the
Cotswolds, is a beautiful Georgian spa town with fabulous buildings
and excellent shopping. The
annual cheese-rolling festival held in late May is peculiar to
the Cotswolds - people running down a steep hill after a large
round cheese!
Your
driver-guide has lived for much of his upbringing in The Cotswolds
and so can show you places that most tourists never reach. It
is important that to see The Cotswolds well, travel is conducted
in minibuses so that it is possible to access all the country
backroads with the most beautiful of rural scenes.

Plan
for the day
|
First
we head to the south Cotswolds to the "most beautiful village
in Britain", Bibury,
a perfect introduction to The Cotswolds.
Then we take to the narrow, winding country backroads along
the beautiful Coln Valley to
explore villages off the beaten track en route to Cheltenham.
Cheltenham, the capital of the Cotswolds, is one of the UK's prettiest
towns. There will be free time to browse the many
wonderful shops and boutiques before heading back into the countryside
to the
tourist village of Bourton-on-the-water with its quaint river flowing
through its heart. Finally,
on to the hilltop
town of Stow-on-the-Wold famous for its antiques and pretty market
square. Return to
Cambridge mid-evening. |
