From London: Cotswolds Guided Day Tour

Country roads to Cotswolds

Go on a charming getaway, away from the bustling streets of London into the heart of the Cotswolds. Take a comfortable, air-conditioned coach from central London with an expert guide. The rolling hills, the picturesque villages, and the scenic landscapes are all lined up for your little adventure. Your first stop at Burford is where you'll see honey-colored stone buildings, and St. John the Baptist Church, known for its stunning spire and intricate stonework. Next, you will see Bibury, a village frequently regarded as the most picturesque in England, where time seems to stand still as you admire the charming 17th-century weavers' cottages.

Of local lunch and art

Stow-on-the-Wold is a charming market town perfect for lunch. Explore its historic church with its distinctive door flanked by trees, visit the Porch House—Britain's oldest pub, formerly part of Evesham Abbey—and discover the traditional village stocks along with rich Civil War history. For the final part of exploration, there's Chipping Campden, a central hub for the Arts and Crafts Movement, led by C.R. Ashbee, which influenced design and craftsmanship in the early 20th century. The town’s iconic Market Hall, built in 1627, features a distinctive design with a central arch and a clock tower, serving as a focal point in the town center.
