“There was something about the light in the Cotswolds, a smooth opalescence that covered the hills and farmland in a soft binding. The morning usually began with sun, the sky gradually thickening to clouds in the afternoon. Later in the day, rain fell on the brilliant autumn leaves and gave them a boiled-sugar glaze, and drew out a dark, fresh scent from the loam and clay.”
Your Cotswolds Tour
An example itinerary
We will start the tour from Burford, near Oxford. Known as “The Gateway to the Cotswolds”. The medieval town of honey-coloured stone cottages, with many houses built 600 years ago. The Burford Garden Company is well known, and makes the town a must for gardening aficionados – including locals Kate Moss, Liz Hurley and Kate Winslet.
After exploring Burford, we will visit the “Prettiest village in England”, Bibury. A great photo opportunity, and a snapshot of traditional English country life. Walk along the river to Arlington Row, a set of weavers cottages and one of the iconic symbols of the Cotswolds.
Next stop is the “Venice of the Cotswolds”, the delightful settlement of Bourton-on-the-Water.
Onwards to the highest town in the Cotswolds, Stow-on-the-Wold. Antique shops, ancient inns centred around the historic market square. An inspiration for J.R.R Tolkien, St Edwards Church entrance, flanked by two ancient yew trees, is said to have inspired the Door of Durin in the Lord of the Rings. The town is the location for the last battle of the English Civil War in 1646.
