Join us for a fun-filled weekend exploring the Cotswolds and beyond with our special break, All Aboard the Clarkson Express.
This two-day adventure includes comfortable accommodation on a bed and breakfast basis, along with a guided tour that follows in the footsteps of Jeremy Clarkson’s countryside life.
We begin in Woodstock, a charming market town with historic character, before travelling on to Chipping Norton, famously close to Clarkson’s farm. From here we pass by Diddly Squat, his well-known farm and shop (hopefully for some photos!), before continuing to the pretty town of Burford, often called the ‘Gateway to the Cotswolds.’ We will also offer the option of dropping you off at Jeremy’s pub, the Farmers Dog. There are no guarantees you’ll get in, but who knows!
The day rounds off in style with a tour and tasting at Hawkstone Brewery, closely linked to Clarkson’s projects and famously bearing his image.
On day two, we journey home via Bath, giving you time to enjoy this beautiful Georgian city. With scenery, humour, and flavour, this weekend promises a memorable experience.

* Anyone who fancies a quick weekend away

Step aboard for a unique day out following in the footsteps of Jeremy Clarkson on our specially designed tour with a knowledgeable local guide. Along the way, you’ll hear stories about Clarkson’s farming adventures, the Cotswolds, and local history, adding plenty of colour to the journey.
We begin with around an hour in Woodstock, an elegant Georgian market town where you can enjoy a coffee, explore historic streets, or browse independent shops. From there we continue to Chipping Norton, fondly known as “Chippy,” for a short stop to soak up its friendly market town atmosphere. The tour then passes by Clarkson’s Farm, with the chance to see the countryside he calls home and snap a few photos.
Next, we stop in beautiful Burford with time to wander the pretty high street and, if you wish, try your luck at visiting the Farmer’s Dog pub (drop offs available).
Finally, the day ends with a two-hour stop at Hawkstone Brewery, where tours, tastings, and refreshments await.
Bath
INCLUDED Visitor DestinationBuilt for pleasure and relaxation, beautiful Bath has been a wellbeing destination since Roman times. The waters are still a big draw, both at the ancient Roman Baths and the thoroughly modern Thermae Bath Spa, which houses the only natural thermal hot springs in Britain you can bathe in. The compact, visitor-friendly centre is overflowing with places to eat and drink, plus some of the finest independent shops in Britain. Immerse yourself in Bath’s remarkable collection of museums and galleries, while admiring Bath's stunning honey-coloured Georgian architecture that is straight from a Jane Austen novel. For a special treat enjoy the grandeur of the world-famous Pump Room for afternoon tea, and a sample of the healing Bath waters taken by the city's famous residents for hundreds of years. For something simpler but just as historic try a delicious Sally Lunn Bunn served in the famous eating house or to take away, made to the same recipe since 1680!
