Stratford & The Cotswolds Twixmas Special

Itinerary

Stratford & the Cotswolds Twixmas Special

Join us for a Twixmas escape to the heart of the beautiful Cotswolds and discover this picturesque region’s rolling hills and miles of countryside, dotted with quaint villages of honey-coloured cottages. Our post-Christmas getaway takes us to the historic town of Stratford-upon-Avon and a special selection of Cotswold treasures such as Stow on the Wold; it’s the perfect way to see out the year.

Stratford & the Cotswolds Twixmas Special

After joining the coach, we make our way to our hotel and check in.

We tour some of the Cotswolds' most famous and unspoilt villages. Be on the lookout for the characteristic honey-coloured cottages and buildings! We begin at Chipping Norton, a delightful market town with many antique shops, a local museum and the historic Grade I Listed St Marys Church. We continue to Stow-on-the-Wold, a market town on top of Stow Hill. Notable places of interest include medieval St Edward's Church and Market Square with the limestone-arched Market Hall at the centre.

Our last stop is Broadway, in the very heart of the Cotswolds. Often thought of as one of the prettiest villages in the Cotswolds, see the famous limestone on Broadway High Street, used throughout the Cotswolds, and marvel at the quaint cottages and houses which line the streets next to horse chestnut trees and pristine grass verges.

After breakfast, we check out of the hotel and begin our journey home. On the way, we stop at Stratford-upon-Avon to enjoy a few hours exploring this beautiful town forever associated with William Shakespeare. Fans of The Bard can visit the house in which he was born, and there’s a chance to wander the riverside gardens or discover the town’s theatres including the Swan Theatre, home of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
