What to expect

Locations visited are:

Castle Combe Village

Voted the prettiest village in England; an idyllic Cotswold village nestling in a wooded valley. This has been a movie and historical drama film location for Stardust, Warhorse & Poirot and the original Dr. Dolittle.

Bourton on the Water

Known affectionately as the 'Venice of the Cotswolds’; criss-cross the quaint stone bridges spanning the River Windrush, watch the ducks drifting by, and explore the shops & eateries and that line the banks. You can also find the famous Model Village, an ornate miniature replica of Bourton itself.

Stow-on-the-Wold

A bustling market town with a rich wool-trading history. This town was the setting of the last battle of the English Civil War (1646) and was a source of inspiration for J.R.R. Tolkien when creating The Lord of the Rings. Stroll the broad marketplace, winding lanes and perhaps find the Porch House, which claims to be the oldest pub in England.

Bibury & Arlington Row

Celebrated as 'the most beautiful village in England.' See the iconic Arlington Row - a 14th-century weavers’ cottages that is one of the most iconic scenes of the Cotswolds. Take time to wander the riverside paths and enjoy a tranquil rural setting that has inspired artists and visitors for centuries.
