Cotswolds Day Trips

With so many beautiful places to choose from, planning a Cotswolds day trip from London can be difficult – which is why we will tailor your private tour around the places you most want to see. Explore well-known attractions or discover some of the prettiest Cotswold villages, including Upper and Lower Slaughter, Stow-on-the-Wold and Bourton-on-the-Water. And, of course, no Cotswolds tour would be complete without stopping at a traditional country pub for a delicious English lunch.

Bourton on the Water 

Often described as the “Venice of the Cotswolds”, Bourton-on-the-Water is a wonderfully picturesque village set along the River Windrush. Its traditional stone buildings, charming bridges and village green make it one of the most popular places to visit in the Cotswolds. You’ll also find plenty of independent shops, cafés and attractions to enjoy. Nearby are several beautiful gardens, including the internationally renowned Hidcote Manor and the cottage gardens and lavender fields at Snowshill Manor.

Blenheim Palace 

A Cotswolds tour from London can also include a visit to magnificent Blenheim Palace in Woodstock, Oxfordshire. Home of the Duke of Marlborough, birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this spectacular Baroque palace is surrounded by around 2,000 acres of landscaped parkland. Explore its impressive architecture, elegant interiors, fascinating exhibitions, artworks and beautiful gardens.

Cheltenham 

Cheltenham is a historic spa town renowned for its elegant Regency architecture, attractive gardens and lively cultural scene. Highlights include the beautiful Lansdown Terrace, museums, galleries and the town’s many independent shops, cafés and restaurants. It makes a wonderful addition to a private Cotswolds day tour from London.

Lacock 

Step back in time in the charming village of Lacock, where stone and half-timbered houses line picturesque streets. Dating back to the 13th century and managed by the National Trust, Lacock has appeared in numerous film and TV productions, including a Harry Potter film and the BBC drama Lark Rise to Candleford. Lacock Abbey is another fascinating attraction, while the Fox Talbot Museum is a must for anyone interested in the history of photography.
