Minster Lovell Hall & Dovecote: Wander through the 15th-century ruins of the manor built by William Lovell, once one of the richest men in England. The site features a stunning vaulted passageway and a circular Medieval Dovecote that originally housed 600 nesting holes. St Kenelm’s Church: Standing adjacent to the hall, this church houses the rare alabaster tomb of the Lovell family. Look for the "squints" in the architecture, designed to give medieval worshippers a clear view of the altar.

St John the Baptist Church: Visit one of the top ten most-visited churches in the UK. It is famous for its "wool church" grandeur and its darker history as a prison for the Levellers in 1649. Look for the name "Anthony Sedley" carved into the lead font by a trapped mutineer.

St Peter’s Church: A hidden treasure featuring a 12th-century sculpted tympanum depicting Christ in Majesty and remarkably preserved Georgian wall paintings from 1736. The Fox at Barrington: Enjoy a riverside lunch at this 17th-century inn. It is the perfect spot to sample local ales while the River Windrush flows past the beer garden.

Bourton-on-the-Water: Known as the "Venice of the Cotswolds," this iconic village is famous for its low arched stone bridges crossing the River Windrush. Your driver will drop you at the heart of the village, allowing you to stroll past the honey-colored stone cottages and explore the unique boutiques or the famous Model Village. Greystones Farm Nature Reserve: Just a short walk from the village center, step back 6,000 years at this working organic farm. Explore the replica Iron Age roundhouse and the ramparts of Salmonsbury Camp, an ancient "oppidum" or trading hub. In spring, the wildflower meadows are a highlight for nature lovers seeking a peaceful escape from the main village bustle.
