ON A TYPICAL DAY
A typical day’s 9+ hour Cotswold tour would incorporate at least one “attraction”... to name a few...One or more of the numerous National Trust Properties that abound in the Cotswolds. Sudely Castle, Blenheim Palace, Broadway Tower, Buscot Park, Highgrove House Gardens (Prince Charles's Home)** Kelmscote Manor (William Morris's home) and many many more as well as a multitude of beautiful Cotswold Gardens that can be found in this area. If gardens are your forte, we may be able to fit 2 or even 3 gardens into a day.....I am very flexible...Virtually everything is possible !!...(see my "links" page for webs to some of the places of interest in the North Cotswolds)** See special information on "links" page
Your typical days tour would start with a 09-00 am pick-up from your accommodation. We would tour numerous villages, discussing their history, stopping in some, whatever you preference. We would visit “an attraction”, have a pub lunch, visit more Cotswold villages, perhaps take afternoon tea, and visit a Cotswold garden.
Always remember...this is your day,... you set the pace not me...nothing is set....some people prefer "slow travel" others enjoy a stronger pace I am very flexable and adaptable.
A bespoke printed itinerary your guided tour with all the important facts and images will be given to you as a keepsake to remind you of your Cotswold visit.
If you are travelling with children, I have many ideas for keeping theminterested, The Cotswold Farm Park, playing “Pooh sticks” at Lower Slaughter (an absolute must and great fun), climbing Broadway Tower (The Cotswolds highest little Castle), finding "The Mouseman's" hidden mice in Ilmington Church, and many other ideas for both adults and children to enjoy.
