The Cotswolds Private Tours

Honey-coloured limestone defines the Cotswolds, and you feel it most in the market towns. Moreton-in-Marsh has welcomed traders for centuries and still runs a weekly market; Stow-on-the-Wold sits highest of the Cotswold villages, where the yew-flanked north door of St Edward’s Church is said to have inspired Tolkien. Bourton-on-the-Water spreads along the River Windrush with its model village and hedge maze. Long summer evenings suit slow lunches in village pubs.

Bourton-on-the-Water spreads along the River Windrush with its model village and hedge maze. Long summer evenings suit slow lunches in village pubs.
