Overview

On this day trip you are invited to join us as we tour the South Western region of the delightful Cotswolds. All the SAT NAV directions are provided for you, so all you need to do is follow our route for a relaxing drive through scenic country lanes, visit interesting attractions, enjoy morning coffee, a delightful lunch at a most beautiful Inn, and end your day with a drink at Minster Lovell on the river Coln. The Cotswolds is regarded by many as one of the most beautiful areas in Great Britain and attracts visitors the whole year through, but it can be very busy in the main months, so we help you by taking you off the main roads as much as possible, although on this tour there is a portion on fast roads, but it’s only about 10 minutes, so for the rest of the drive you will see very scenic views to start with, worth the trip down to get here. As with our second tour of the Cotswolds we have written about, we have suggested you start from Broadway, just in case you fancy making a few days holiday while in the Cotswold, so if you read our reviews, we are sure that we have offered you an all round view of the Cotswolds, and best of all, there are no costs involved on entrance fees, you can really enjoy life without the high costs some attractions charge, all you need to do is buy your drinks when needed. Of course we suggest places for lunch or dinner if needed, but your own picnic box will be more than enough. An overnight stay is of course up to you, but the hotels we have reviewed will give you as much advice as we can offer. So all in all, we now recommend you enjoy our full three day tours PART ONE, a really lovely trip around beautiful Broadway, and 5* hotels to see. PART TWO, enjoy the most delightful hamlets, and the lovely Slaughters villages PART THREE, journey down to the south west corner of the Cotswolds. Let us know what you think of our efforts for you. From BROADWAY the full round trip will be a 85 mile round trip. Or start from your home to Brockhurst, then a 51 mile drive back to Broadway. SAT NAV. GL3 4SB COOPERS HILL, BROCKHURST.
