Long Hanborough Trip Overview
I am lucky enough to live in this postcard picturesque area on the edge of the famous Cotswolds region. It’s easily reached from Oxford city- where I happen to be an experienced tour guide too. So if you book a tour with me, not only can I tell you lots about the Cotswolds heritage but also its connections to Oxford and eg the famous Oxford pre Raphaelite artists such as William Morris who lived in this region. On the tour, I will also introduce the historical monuments which we’ll visit such a Roman villa & the ruins of a medieval manor house.
