Description
Spend the day visiting the distinctive British countryside of the Cotswolds, known for its green landscapes and honey-colored stone cottages. The tour covers popular sites as well as quieter areas off the usual tourist path.
Begin in Burford, a well-preserved medieval town with buildings over 500 years old. Visit the historic church, walk the high street, and explore the town at your leisure.
Next, visit Bibury, often described as England’s prettiest village. Walk along the river and see Arlington Row, a row of traditional weaver's cottages symbolic of the Cotswolds. Free time is provided to explore this village.
Continue to Bourton-on-the-Water, a picturesque town with stone cottages set along a river crossed by small bridges. You can stroll the area and have lunch during your free time.
End the tour at Stow-on-the-Wold, a market town with antique shops and historic inns gathered around the ancient market square. It is notable for its role in the English Civil War and is home to what is reputedly England’s oldest pub.
