Itinerario
Burford è una pittoresca città di mercato dove strade acciottolate, cottage in pietra dorata e pub secolari creano una perfetta fuga da Cotswold. Come parte del tour, offre un gusto rilassato e autentico del patrimonio inglese, ideale per curiosare nei negozi locali, godersi la vista sul fiume o immergersi nel fascino senza tempo.
Bibury, spesso definito il villaggio più bello d'Inghilterra, è un gioiello per eccellenza di Cotswold. Il villaggio è noto soprattutto per Arlington Row, una fila di cottage di tessitori del XVII secolo che sembrano usciti direttamente da una favola. Questi iconici cottage in pietra, con i loro tetti a falde ripide e l'ambiente pittoresco, sono uno dei luoghi più fotografati delle Cotswolds. Il tranquillo fiume Coln si snoda attraverso il villaggio, aggiungendo al suo fascino, con anatre e cigni che scivolano con grazia sulle sue acque limpide. Bibury vanta anche prati lussureggianti, affascinanti sale da tè e la storica Bibury Trout Farm, dove i visitatori possono conoscere l'allevamento tradizionale di trote o semplicemente godersi l'ambiente sereno. Con la sua bellezza senza tempo e l'atmosfera incantevole, Bibury offre uno sguardo indimenticabile nel cuore della campagna inglese.
Un tempo importante roccaforte romana, Cirencester fonde una ricca storia con la vivace energia della città di mercato. Esplora antiche rovine, boutique e la splendida chiesa parrocchiale nel suo cuore. Con la sua vivace atmosfera e il fascino culturale, Cirencester aggiunge profondità e carattere a qualsiasi tour di Cotswold.
Conosciuta come la "Venezia delle Cotswolds", Bourton-on-the-Water è un pittoresco villaggio famoso per i suoi incantevoli ponti bassi in pietra che si inarcano sul fiume Windrush. Passeggia lungo le rive alberate e ammira i caratteristici cottage in pietra che costeggiano le strade, creando panorami da cartolina a ogni curva. È possibile esplorare attrazioni come il Model Village, una replica dettagliata della stessa Bourton, o visitare il Cotswold Motoring Museum, sede di auto d'epoca e cimeli nostalgici. Godetevi caffè lungo il fiume, negozi di artigianato e pub tradizionali, il tutto sullo sfondo idilliaco della campagna ondulata di Cotswold. Bourton-on-the-Water offre un delizioso mix di bellezze naturali e fascino senza tempo.
Immersa nel cuore delle Cotswolds, Stow-on-the-Wold è un'affascinante città di mercato ricca di storia e pittoresca bellezza. Troverai strade acciottolate fiancheggiate da edifici in pietra color miele, pittoresche sale da tè e negozi boutique unici. L'iconica Piazza del Mercato, un tempo vivace centro per il commercio della lana, è ora uno spazio tranquillo adornato da negozi di antiquariato e gallerie. Stow ospita anche la storica chiesa di Sant’Edoardo, famosa per la sua incantevole porta fiancheggiata da antichi tassi, che si dice abbia ispirato le porte di Moria ne Il Signore degli Anelli. Con le sue dolci viste sulla campagna e il fascino senza tempo, Stow-on-the-Wold offre un'esperienza Cotswold per eccellenza intrisa di tradizione e fascino.

Tour was fantastic. Martin, our driver and guide, was knowledgeable and fun to be with. Took us to a number of beautiful town/villages and also on many back roads that provided a unique view and experience of the area. Thank you for a great day out,
A really good thorough tour, we really enjoyed it. The driver was very knowledgeable and gave a complete history of villages and areas that we otherwise would have been totally unaware of. The value of this interaction was very high for us. The mini bus was excellent, comfortable seats (with a USB port), quiet and air conditioned. In 35 degree heat outside we were comfortable and cool inside.
Cotswold is beautiful! Martin was funny and very knowledgeable guide. From farming and nature to industry and history of the country- serious and funny facts. We enjoyed the views of lovely villages , wonderful houses and gardens. The weather was unexpectedly warm but air conditioned van helped us in between. Absolutely loved the views and would recommend to anyone!

Martin did a splendid job on our tour today. He filled us with wealth of information about each area we visited as well as those we passed along the way. His commentary was interesting and included historical, cultural, political, and religious information relevant to each area we visited. I especially enjoyed information about some of the estate owners and others that live or have properties in the area. We left promptly at 8:30 am and were back to our starting point by 4:30 pm. The motor coach is comfortable and I felt like we had enough time to get a good understanding and view. Overall, it was a day well spent and I highly recommend Martin and this tour.
