Cotswolds Private Day Tour from Southampton

Pick up from Southampton

We will depart from Southampton and will drive for approximately 1 hour 30 minutes.
It’s easy to see why William Morris called Bibury ‘The most beautiful village in England’ – wonderful stone buildings strung out along the banks of the River Coln.

Bibury is most famous for Arlington Row which even appears on the inside cover of UK passports!

Otherwise known as the ‘Venice of the Cotswolds’ Bourton-on-the-Water is one of the most famous Cotswolds towns, and is regularly voted one of the prettiest villages in England. There is plenty to see and do with a wealth of attractions, shops, restaurants and tea rooms.

Stow-on-the-Wold is one of the prettiest towns in Gloucestershire steeped in history and built by the Normans, it combines honey-coloured buildings, cosy pubs, narrow streets, interesting shops and tiny tea rooms.

We will have time for lunch here in a local pub or tea room.

Burford’s famous High Street sweeps downhill towards the River Windrush, with an unbroken line of ancient houses and shops, as well as a medieval bridge and an impressive church. Burford is known for its shopping – particularly antiques – and for the wide variety of restaurants, pubs and teashops.

The word Slaughter comes from the old English word for ‘miry place’. However, don’t let the name deceive you as this village is considered to be one of the prettiest villages in the Northern Cotswolds and is set in the most amazing countryside. Lower Slaughter has also been voted as the most romantic village in the country.

This pretty village on the River Windrush boasts plenty of Cotswold stone and thatched roofs, as well as holding the title of being the region’s most haunted village. Minster Lovell is perhaps best known the ruins of its 15th century hall, owned by generations of the Lovell family.
