Description

Cheltenham is one of our most popular elegant spa towns, with Regency terraces, leafy boulevards and stylish shops, particularly along the Promenade. Lying by the slopes of the Cotswolds, it makes an ideal base from which to explore this delightful area, where honeystone villages lie hidden amidst the rolling green hills, with their beautiful old houses and medieval churches.

Itinerary

Tour Highlights
• The best of the Cotswolds • Burford • Lechlade • Cirencester • Bourton-onthe- Water • Moreton-in-Marsh market Full Day
Through the orchards of the Vale of Evesham to climb Broadway Hill into the gentle landscape of the Cotswolds, dotted with delightful villages of honey coloured stone. At Moreton-in- Marsh there is an opportunity to explore the huge Tuesday market, a celebrated weekly event, which takes over the High Street. On through Stow-on-the-Wold to Bourton-on-the-Water, a renowned Cotswolds tourist village, which is unbelievably picturesque, with the little River Windrush flowing beneath tiny hump back bridges. Full Day
Touring the southern Cotswolds, with visits to Burford, where the High Street has a collection of fine stone houses, boutique shops, descending to a medieval bridge, the old Thameside town of Lechlade, head of navigation and affluent Cirencester, important in Roman times and now the largest town in the area with a busy market square.
