Cotswolds Small Group Tour fra London
Beskrivelse
Cotswolds, der dækker næsten 800 kvadratkilometer og ikke færre end fem engelske amter, er det største enkelt udpegede område med naturlig skønhed i Storbritannien. Området var engang kendt for sin uldproduktion, som man stadig kan se påmindelser om i dag. I løbet af denne oplevelse vil vi besøge tre maleriske landsbyer gemt i hjertet af Cotswolds, med honningfarvede kalkstensbygninger og rig kulturarv. Slap af ombord på dit luksus lille gruppekøretøj med en ekspertguide, mens du nyder det bedste af det engelske landskab.

Rejseplan
Bourton-on-the-Water blev regelmæssigt valgt til en af de smukkeste landsbyer i England og har en unik appel til både besøgende og beboere. Denne ene landsby, der er kendt som Cotswolds-Venedig, tilbyder et væld af attraktioner og butikker, restauranter og tesaloner eller bare plads til dig til at nyde en rolig tid ved floden Windrush, spændt af sine fem buede broer. Bourton-on-the-Waters mest værdsatte træk er dens rolige flod. Fed fra mange kilder, dens kilde er cirka ti miles fra landsbyen, og selv i tørken i 1976 fortsatte strømmen. Hvor floden kommer ind i landsbyens centrum, over strykene ved siden af den gamle mølle, flyder dens klare vand under en blanding af buede stenbroer forbi det grønne med sine bredder af Cotswold-sten.
Bibury - Når du ankommer til Bibury, kan du tro, at du er blevet transporteret tilbage til en anden alder. Landsbyen blev engang beskrevet af den britiske digter, kunstner og forfatter William Morris (1834-1896) som "den smukkeste landsby i England". Biburys attraktioner omfatter Arlington Row, en 1700-tals række væverhytter bygget af lokal sten ved siden af River Coln. Det er et af de mest fotograferede områder i regionen og blev valgt som sted for 2007 film 'Stardust'. I nærheden finder du Bibury Trout Farm og en saksisk kirke. Floden Coln flyder mellem den vigtigste landsby gade og en vandleje: sammen med Arlington Row som en baggrund, det gør en af de mest maleriske scener, du vil finde i Cotswolds.
De maleriske Arlington Row hytter i Bibury blev bygget i 1380 som en kloster uld butik. Dette blev derefter omdannet til en række væverhytter i det 17. århundrede. Tyget produceret på Arlington Row blev sendt til Arlington Mill på den anden side af Rack Isle. Tyget blev derefter hængt på trærammer på Rack Isle efter at være blevet affedt i Arlington Mill.
Burford - "Porten til Cotswolds" Burford er kendt som porten til Cotswolds. Dens High Street skråner fra de høje Wolds, hvor du har en smuk udsigt over det åbne landskab, ned til den pilefringede flod Windrush i den smukke Windrush-dal. Vælg at besøge Burfords mange små butikker, der tilbyder Cotswolds-ost, kvalitetskød, frisklavede kager, antikviteter og bøger.

This trip is an absolute MUST! The beauty of the countryside cannot be beat. Simon was absolutely brilliant guide and Gary was a masterful driver getting us to all locations safely! So worth it
We visited Bilbury, Burton on the Water and Burford. The towns appeared storybook beautiful as was the countryside throughout the area. Our driver was skilled and our guide pleasant. However, I felt the information she provided was limited. I would have liked to have had details on the size of the region, the number of towns, areas of growth, current quarry activity etc.
Lovely 3 stops in the Cotswolds. Glad I did not combine with another stop. Norma was knowledgeable and helpful. Amajit was a good driver, navigating the London traffic and the narrow roads of Cotswolds.
Well organized small group tour of one of the most beautiful areas of England. Our knowledgable tour guide Richard and Patrick our driver made the journey enjoyable. We stopped in 3 villages on this trip - each unique in its own way. Expect to spent 1.5 to 2 hours in each spot - plenty of time to roam around on your own, shop or grab a bit. Richard also did walking tours of the town which you could choose to join or venture out on your own. The villages are crowded on summer weekends but once you get off the main roadways you'll find empty streets and charming homes.
The guide Simon is really excelent. Actually the best of the tour. Very professional and shared a lot of interesting information. The driver and the mini bus also perfect. And glad to be in a reduce group. I dont give a five star becuase I would have prefer to go to Castle Combe instead of the last town that was very ugly. I know there are other tours that include CC but bc of the meeting point we chose this one. Instead of the time spent there I would have prefered more time in Bibury.
Simon our tour guide was absolutely wonderful! He was very peppy, hilarious, and kept us entertained the entire trip. He knew lots about the Cotswalds and other English history. We learned a lot and are very pleased with how our tour went.
Fantastic! Simon was the best guide of the villages. We learned so much history and fun facts. Gary is a lovely driver.
