The Cotswolds

Timeless and peaceful, the historic riverside villages and thatched cottages of the Cotswold Hills in south west England are cradled in the folds of picturesque valleys and meadows. You'll love the open countryside, open views and historic abbeys and churches hidden along the way as you take in the Ancient Saxon capital of Winchcombe and Bourton-on-the-Water, (known as the Venice of the Cotswolds). This landscape is steeped in the blood of the English Civil War, where castles and hilltop towers look out over fields of lavender and wheat. On our flexible routes between towns and villages it will seem as if you have this all world to yourself!
