From Stratford-on-Avon/Moreton-in-Marsh: Secret Cotswolds – South East England, United Kingdom

EXPERIENCE:

New for 2024! Join a local driver/guide on a relaxing full-day tour of the Cotswolds National Landscape. As well as visiting some better-known villages, on this tour you’ll also discover the ‘secret’ spots that most visitors miss! This ‘Secret Cotswolds’ tour stops at 5 different and unique locations with ample time built into the day for self-exploration, shopping, and lunch.

The tour stops at:
• The Rollright Stones: drink in panoramic views across the Cotswolds, and discover the secrets of this fascinating ancient stone circle – the Cotswolds’ very own ‘mini Stonehenge’!
• Burford: a historic Cotswolds market town where you have an hour of free time to explore with our unique maps and local recommendations
• Broadway: not so secret perhaps, but ‘The Jewel in the Cotswolds Crown’ is not to be missed! This is your designated lunch stop, and there are many wonderful food options to choose from (lunch is not included)
• Stanton: often voted as one of the most beautiful and unspoilt villages in the Cotswolds
• Guiting Power: a gorgeous Cotswold village, off the beaten track, where you’ll get a view of quiet countryside life

Between the stops, you’ll drive through glorious English countryside (including an area made famous by Jeremy Clarkson in the TV show ‘Clarkson’s Farm’). Your friendly, local, driver-guide will tell you the story of the Cotswolds with a fun, fact-filled commentary as you travel the narrow back lanes only the locals know about.
