The Cotswolds - A half-walk tour through the most beautiful English countryside

    • Nine walks through some of the loveliest countryside in the world with stops to enjoy buildings and landscape features.
    • A carefully selected itinerary which favours the lesser-visited and less accessible places over some of the more touristy ones.
    • Several outstanding gardens are a feature, as are manor houses and a handful of the finest parish churches in the country.
    • One hotel throughout, a 16th-century country house.
PRE & POST

Mentioned below are other holidays that fall either side of this one. If you would like to book two or more holidays in a row, it will be your responsibility to make your own way between them, however we are happy to offer advice if necessary. The exceptions are tours that are specifically offered as 'pre-festival' or 'post-festival' tours – for these we provide a transfer between tour and festival where needed. Please note that our online booking process allows for only one tour to be booked at a time so please contact us if you would like to book more than 1 tour or music festival.
