Cotswolds
Discover the Cotswolds
The Cotswolds way of life and countryside sums up for many people what it means to be English. This corner of England has charmed writers, filmmakers, and countless visitors with its honey-coloured stone cottages, winding back lanes and friendly people. All of whom seem to own an equally friendly dog.
From the beauty of a Cotswolds wildflower meadow or lavender fields in full bloom in June, to the perfect stillness of a summer afternoon, with tea and scones on the lawn at a historic country house. Each day on tour in the Cotswolds can blend scenic walks, cultural experiences, and outstanding local food, with evenings spent unwinding in boutique hotels, filled with character and comfort. Or one of those Cotswolds pubs where the landlord knows everyone – and eveything – that’s happened here since 1850.
Our Cotswold Itineraries
The Cotswolds are very close to our hearts – it’s our birthplace, not just Shakespeare’s – and that’s reflected in the volume and range of tours we operate in this breathtakingly gorgeous part of England.
We admit it, we’re biased.
Your guests will walk or cycle beautiful Cotswold landscapes that haven’t changed since Roman times, discovering historic villages and magnificent 17th century gardens along roads less travelled. Picnic in ancient English wildflower meadows in springtime, or walk the quiet beechwood paths as the autumn leaves turn to gold.
