Itinerary
Visit Castle Combe
Wander through the picture-perfect village of Castle Combe and enjoy its timeless feel as we arrive before it gets busy. Little has changed in this medieval gem for centuries – no street lights or TV aerials. This idyllic location with its picturesque cottages and babbling stream has featured in countless TV shows and movies. It is surely one of the most photographed villages in all of England.
Visit Cirencester
Affectionately known as the ‘Capital of the Cotswolds’, Cirencester is a vibrant and ancient market town located in the very heart of this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Its rich history includes being the second largest town in Roman Britain (under the name Corinium), a powerful Abbey during the Middle Ages, and a continually thriving market town for centuries since.
Visit Secret Cotswolds Villages
You will visit other picturesque and deliberately secret villages, avoiding those now overrun locations, which have been impacted by large tour groups and buses from London. Trust our local expertise to show you the real Cotswolds and give you a unique experience.
Visit Cotswolds Garden
The Cotswolds is also famous for its quintessentially English country gardens and you will admire some in the shadow of a privately owned stately home, which will certainly charm you. Please note, an alternative stop will be suggested during the shoulder autumn/winter season.
