TRANSPORT INCLUDED:

Let's go on a stunning adventure in the world's most famous countryside!
Time to visit the stunning Cotswold and the home of Britain's most beautiful villages.

We will take a 2 1/2 hours journey to the Cotswold where we will kick off at its most beautiful site CASTLECOMBE! The village is called 'The Prettiest Village in England' and with good reason people have been coming to enjoy its charms for at least a century and the small street leading from the Market Cross down to the By Brook is as picturesque today as it ever was. It has featured regularly as a film location, most recently in The Wolf Man, Stardust and Stephen Spielberg’s War Horse. It was also used in the original Dr Doolittle film.

The village has a rich history and the houses are made up of the honey coloured Cotswold stone, typical for a village of this area.
We will take our time for you to enjoy every little corner and take every photos you wish to before we begin our hike through this dreamy countryside. We will travel through woodlands and hills and visit every little villages on the way, Ford, Slaughter and Corsham before we head back to catch our coach after a meal at a local pub or restaurant.
