See why us locals love the Cotswolds! On this one-day tour, you'll get out of the minibus and into the countryside to explore Broadway Tower, Broadway and Burford, and experience the Cotswolds' celebrated walking trails.
You'll enjoy up to three glorious walks on this tour: a short walk to Broadway Tower Country Park for panoramic views and red deer sightings (1 mile/1.6km); Broadway Tower to Broadway following The Cotswold Way (1.5 miles/2.4km; optional); figure-of-eight walk in the Windrush Valley to 3 secluded Cotswold villages (2.75 miles/4.5km; shorter option available; optional).
Between stops, travel the narrow country lanes, while your friendly local driver-guide brings the Cotswolds to life with a fun live commentary.
