Explore the Cotswolds on this day trip from London, and prepare to see thatched roof cottages, centuries-old stone wall buildings among the quintessentially English backdrop, and picturesque scenery in a tranquil setting, with rolling hills, babbling brooks, sleepy hamlets, pretty ‘chocolate box’ villages and engaging market towns.
On your private excursion, you will:
- Depart from your central London pick-up location in a London Taxi;
- See predominantly rural landscape giving way to stunning honey-coloured architecture;
- Hear stories from medieval times, when the Cotswold Lion breed of sheep sold to European merchant traders built the impressive ‘wool churches’;
- Visit other idyllic places like Bibury, Chipping Campden, Stow-on-the-Wold, Moreton-in-Marsh and Bourton-on-the-Water (sometimes described as ‘Venice in the heart of England);
- Walk the hill to Broadway Tower, to enjoy a 360-degree landscape with the country of Wales in sight;
- Choose between snack breaks or lunch, from cosy tearooms to traditional countryside pubs, and your experienced and affable private driver-guide host will know all the best options.
- Snap memorable photos of this picturesque region in the English countryside.
Embark on a journey from the bustling streets of London to the serene countryside of the Cotswolds, where rolling hills and charming villages awaits driving past a patchwork of green fields and gentle hills.
