Our meeting and the start point are Moreton-in-Marsh.

This ancient town has many beautiful buildings. From St James Church right through to Dover’s Hill, all nestling in tranquil and beautiful countryside.

The Tower is an iconic landmark on top of the beautiful Cotswolds escarpment. It was the brainchild of the great 18th-century landscape designer, “Capability Brown”. His vision was carried out for George William 6th Earl of Coventry with the help of renowned architect James Wyatt and completed in 1798.

A charming village, secretly nestled amidst the hills, is a must-see on our tour. It is known for its exceptional unspoilt beauty and for the views over the valley. The beautiful English cottages are a lively mix of architectural features, bright colours and delightful scents.

At nearly 800ft, Stow is the highest of the Cotswold towns, located on the Roman Fosse Way and at the point where several roads meet, hence an important trading centre. It has a long history; it probably dates from a prehistoric fortified settlement on top of the hill and had a special importance in the English Civil War. The last battle was fought close by in Donnington back in 1646.

Lower Slaughter – the slightly macabre name comes from the Old English for ‘muddy place’ – are linked by the tiny River Eye, a tributary to the River Windrush.

Bourton-on-the-Water is a popular destination with gently flowing River Windrush running through the centre of the village and crossed by attractive little bridges. There is much to see in Bourton on the Water and it is suitable for visitors of all ages especially families; visit Birdland Park and Gardens – home to a wide variety of exotic birds including penguins, flamingos, macaws, emus and birds of prey; marvel at the incredible detail of the buildings in The Model Village – a 1/9th scale replica of the centre of the village; the Cotswold Motoring Museum has seven unique galleries housing a collection of vintage cars, a fascinating toy collection, exhibitions and children’s TV favourite little car ‘Brum’.

Bibury is a charming, typically Cotswold, village just a 20-minute drive from Bourton-on-the-Water. It’s easy to see why William Morris called Bibury ‘The most beautiful village in England’ – wonderful stone buildings strung out along the banks of the River Coln.

Arlington Row, owned by the National Trust, is one of England’s most iconic and photographed sites – it even appears on the inside cover of UK passports! Originally built in the 14th century as a monastic wool store, it was converted in the 17th century into a row of weavers’ cottages.

At the end of the tour, we will drop you off at the starting point. Depending on the road condition, it may take 20 to 40 minutes.
