Itinerary

Cotswolds Villages: Bourton-on-the-Water & Stow-on-the-Wold

From a morning pickup in your local area, we travel to our first village of the day, Bourton-on-the-Water. Well-known for its honey-coloured cottages and low, elegant 18^th-century bridges crossing over pretty riverbanks. There are a range of quaint tea rooms and tempting cafés to enjoy. Our next stop is the beautiful market town of Stow-on-the-Wold, renowned for its traditional stone buildings and wonderful collection of artisan boutiques.

Stratford-upon-Avon (full day)

After breakfast, we check out of our hotel and make our way to the beautiful town of Stratford-upon-Avon, 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. We rejoin the coach in the afternoon and continue our journey home.

Stratford upon Avon

Stratford-upon-Avon is a historic market town in Warwickshire situated on the banks of the River Avon and a popular tourist destination attracting over three million visitors a year. With its beautiful surroundings it’s not hard to see why it’s such a hit with coach trip visitors.

Best known for being the birthplace of the poet and playwright William Shakespeare and home to the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford plays host to a rich programme of events and activities from festivals and music in the park to river racing and cruises.

The Cotswolds

One of the unspoilt regions of England, the lovely Cotswolds, an area of outstanding natural beauty, covers six English counties and draws coach trips visitors from all over the world.

Renowned for its rolling meadows, meandering river valleys, pretty woodland, gentle hillsides and of course it’s sleepy ancient limestone villages and market towns, the area hasn’t changed much for over 300 years.
