The day
About this tour
Leave the buzz of London behind for the rolling hills, golden stone villages and honey-scented air of the Cotswolds, a region so charming it feels like walking through a painting with a pint in hand. Your expert guide and separate chauffeur look after you for a day of stories, scenery and proper country magic.
The route takes in the chocolate-box charm of Bibury and its famed Arlington Row, the medieval market town of Burford and the romantic ruins of Minster Lovell beside a sleepy river. Later come Stow-on-the-Wold, full of crooked bookshops and ancient doorways, and Lower Slaughter, with its babbling streams and old stone mills. Along the way, your guide delves into the Ghost of Minster Lovell Hall, Burford's Civil War executions and the Secret of Lower Slaughter's Mill, darker tales in the most tranquil of settings.
Midway through the day there is lunch at a country pub, with a roaring fire or garden roses depending on the season, before a final stroll through village greens and quiet lanes and the drive back to London.
