A Day in the North Cotswolds

Overview
There is a particular kind of light in the North Cotswolds – one that seems to rise straight out of the honey-coloured stone itself. This full-day journey was built for guests who want the region’s very best in a single, unhurried day: the curved terraces of Chipping Campden, the quiet grandeur of Broadway Tower, and the postcard villages of Bourton, Bibury and the Slaughters, each reached in comfort with a private driver-guide at the wheel.

“This is the day we recommend most often to first-time visitors – it captures the North Cotswolds in full, from working wool towns to villages that barely see a passing car.”
THE ROUTE
Your driver-guide collects you from your hotel, a Cotswolds railway station, or another point of your choosing, and returns you there at the end of the day. The order below can be adjusted to suit opening times, weather, or personal interest.
- Chipping Campden- the wool merchants’ town, with Grevel’s House and St James’ Church
- Hidcote Manor Garden or Kiftsgate Court – by season, two of England’s finest gardens
- Broadway Tower & Broadway – a Georgian folly and a wide, gallery-lined high street
- Snowshill – a small village perched high on the escarpment
- Winchcombe an unspoilt former Saxon capital, with Sudeley Castle nearby
- Upper & Lower Slaughter-two of the most photographed villages in England
- Bibury-home to Arlington Row and the River Coln
- Bourton-on-the-Water & Stow-on-the-Wold – the “Venice of the Cotswolds” and a handsome hilltop market town
