All the hotels were super, the food excellent. The rolling Cotswold countryside, a glorious patchwork of meadows, fields and woods divided by hedgerows and dry-stone walls, has come to epitomise all that is good about traditional England for many people. Countless delightful little village nestle amongst these green hills, their honey coloured stone cottages, churches and manors merging harmoniously into the landscape. Peaceful winding lanes lead you through this pastoral scene to many of the well known villages such as Chipping Campden, Stow on the Wold and the Slaughters, also visiting country houses, gardens, farm parks, and fascinating collections and museums. In between you will explore other places off the beaten track where you can really enjoy the plants and wildlife and appreciate the timeless tranquillity of the area.
