يبدأ اليوم في Castle Combe، وهي بالتأكيد واحدة من أكثر القرى التي يتم تصويرها في إنجلترا. لم يتغير شيء هنا منذ القرن الخامس عشر - لا توجد أضواء الشوارع أو هوائيات التلفزيون. تشتهر هذه الجوهرة التي تعود إلى العصور الوسطى بمنازلها الريفية الخلابة وجداولها المتدفقة. تقع Castle Combe في وادي Cotswold المليء بالأشجار، وكانت موقع تصوير هوليوود المفضل على مر السنين لأفلام مثل War Horse وStardust وDoctor Dolittle.

Cirencester is a vibrant town in the heart of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Beauty and affectionately known as the ‘Capital of the Cotswolds. Founded by the Romans, a powerful Abbey in the Middle Ages, and a thriving market town for centuries ever since. Explore the many independent stores, colourful lanes and impressive church.

Stop for a traditional lunch in an historic country inn. Thereafter we continue our journey through the heart of the Cotswolds by visiting some picturesque, hand-picked villages and locations, which are deliberately kept secret. We will avoid the now overrun locations, which have been affected by mass tourism from London. Trust our local expertise to show you the real Cotswolds, give you a unique experience, and to stay ahead of the tour buses and bloggers!

The Cotswolds is famous for it’s quintessentially English country gardens – this peaceful location (also a secret) will certainly charm you. Please note, an alternative stop will be suggested during the shoulder autumn/winter season!
