Stop At: Dover’s Hill, Cotswold Way, Chipping Campden GL55 6UW England
It’s just a short drive to our first stop, the viewpoint at Dover’s Hill and long the way your driver-guide will begin their entertaining commentary telling you the story of the Cotswolds. At the viewpoint you’ll enjoy stunning views and learn about some of the Cotswolds’ more quirky traditions!
Duration: 20 minutes
Stop At: High Street Chipping Campden, Chipping Campden GL55 6AT England
Chipping Campden is a charming and typically Cotswolds market town, full of history and heritage but also home to great independent shopping and superb coffee and cake! Using the maps we provide, you’ll have around an hour here to explore and discover Chipping Campden for yourself.
Duration: 1 hour
Pass By: Broadway Tower, Middle Hill, Broadway WR12 7LB England
Soon after leaving Chipping Campden, we will soon be driving slowly past by Broadway Tower. This striking folly sits on top of Beacon Hill and has an interesting story your driver guide will tell you all about!
Using the narrow backlanes, we then visit our “secret” Cotswolds village for around 30 minutes. This is an off-the-beaten-track location that many of our customers agree is the most beautiful village on the tour!
Stop At: Stow-on-the-Wold Market Square, Stow-on-the-Wold England
The highest town in the Cotswolds, Stow-on-the-Wold is a bustling, historic market town with plenty of good shopping, and a variety of excellent places to eat lunch (lunch not included). We stop here for around 1 hour and 15 minutes, and with the maps we provide, you can explore Stow’s highlights at your leisure.
Duration: 1 hour 15 minutes
Stop At: Arlington Row, Awkward Hill, Bibury GL7 5NJ England
Using the narrow back lanes it’s approximately a 30-40 minute drive from Stow-on-the-Wold to Bibury. Bibury is a small but perfectly formed Cotswolds village, once described by William Morris as “the prettiest in England”. Join us on a tour to see if you agree!
Duration: 40 minutes
Stop At: Bourton-on-the-Water, Bourton-on-the-Water, Cotswolds, England
After Bibury, it’s a stunning 30 minute drive to Bourton-on-the-Water, our last stop before returning our customers back to where they started. Described as the “Venice of the Cotswolds”, Bourton-on-the-Water is a picture-postcard village with Cotswolds stone bridges crossing the River Windrush that runs right through the centre of the village. It’s very popular with visitors, especially on a warm day when paddling in the river is the past-time of choice, but a tour of the Cotswolds wouldn’t be complete without a stop here.
Duration: 50 minutes
