Tour of the Cotswolds from Stratford-upon-Avon

Depart your Stratford hotel, or Stratford or Leamington Spa railway station by minivan bound for the Cotswolds.

Stop first at Chipping Campden where you'll have free time to explore the historic market village. Then, on to Dover’s Hill to admire gorgeous panoramas. Stop to admire views from the castle-like Broadway Tower en route to Stow-on-the-Wold.

Explore or have lunch (own expense) at this delightful town, as you wish, before heading to Bibury, once dubbed England’s “most beautiful village” by poet William Morris. See Bibury’s Arlington Row, arguably Cotswold’s prettiest row of cottages, and then trace country lanes to Bourton-on-the-Water.

Learn about this exquisite riverside village, famous for its low bridges, before enjoying free time to stroll and shop for mementos of your day.

Your tour then concludes at your original starting point.
