Why choose this Oxford tour ?
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.

This is one of the largest sites for a Roman villa and farm in Britain and they estimate hundred of people worked here. You can see some of the underground heating system and some minor walls standing.
This is our first scheduled stop and it is about 3.5 miles from start point so it should take about an hour to walk there. If you wish to pack a picnic, you could decide to stop here for lunch stop but otherwise we will continue to any of the following stops to buy lunch in a pub or cafe.

A curious chapel and one of the oldest and most rustic churches in England, set slightly up from the hamlet in the meadows. It’s normally always open for walkers to stop by and see its interior. Nice and cool on a hot day to stop here!

Burford is one of the most famous villages in the Cotswolds. Its main high street is actually quite high as it goes up a slope. The shops and buildings are nearly all postcard pretty and there are many shops and cafes here. Our tour finishes in Burford and from Burford, we can help you catch a bus back to where you need to go or book a taxi to collect you (taxi or bus fare is not included in the tour). If you wish to stay the night in Burford, then I can suggest places to stay too.
