Itinerary

  1. Burford

    40 min

    Often called the Gateway to the Cotswolds, Burford is a medieval market town with a picturesque High Street that slopes gently to the River Windrush. Its historic buildings, antique shops, and the 12th-century Church of St. John the Baptist make it a delightful first stop.

  2. Bibury

    40 min

    Once described by William Morris as the most beautiful village in England, Bibury is world-famous for Arlington Row, a line of 17th-century weavers’ cottages. The River Coln flows through the village, creating postcard-perfect views.

  3. Cleeve Hill

    30 min

    At 330 meters (1,083 feet), Cleeve Hill is the highest point in the Cotswolds. From here, you’ll enjoy sweeping views across the Severn Vale and, on clear days, as far as the Welsh mountains. It is part of the Cotswold Way National Trail and showcases the region’s natural beauty.

  4. Bourton-on-the-Water

    one hour

    Known as the Venice of the Cotswolds, Bourton-on-the-Water is famous for its graceful stone bridges crossing the River Windrush. Visitors can explore quaint shops, tea rooms, and perhaps the charming Model Village – a miniature replica of the town itself.

  5. Stow-on-the-Wold

    40 min

    A historic wool town perched 800 feet above sea level, Stow-on-the-Wold boasts a vast market square once used for sheep trading. Today it is known for antique shops, traditional inns, and the remarkable north door of St. Edward’s Church framed by ancient yew trees.

  6. Stratford-upon-Avon

    1 h 15 min

    The birthplace of William Shakespeare, Stratford-upon-Avon combines Tudor architecture with literary history. Highlights include Shakespeare’s Birthplace, Anne Hathaway’s Cottage, and the peaceful riverside along the River Avon.
