You will have time to wander around the cobbled streets and view the medieval market cross, relax by the stream or discover the medieval clock in St Andrews church. The village has been in many TV productions such as Poirot, the original Dr. Dolittle and Stardust.
The next stop is in the village of Bibury & Arlington row, here you can view Cotswold architecture at its best at Arlington Row, built in the 14th century. You will have time to wander around the village and admire the 18th-century thatched pub.
The journey through the picturesque landscape and villages continues, due to the elevated seating in the minibus, you´ll be able to see above the hedges and stone walls.
Bourton-on-the-Water is the next stop, also known as the Venice of the Cotswolds due to the 5 quaint bridges over the River Windrush. The journey continues to Stow-on-the-Wold, a picturesque market town and historical centre of the woollen trade. Time to enjoy lunch here.
