Stratford & the Charming Cotswolds at Christmastime

From a morning pickup in your local area we travel to our hotel and check-in.

We journey to the beautiful town of Stratford-upon-Avon, forever associated with William Shakespeare. Fans of The Bard can visit the house in which he was born, and there’s a chance to wander the riverside gardens or discover the town’s theatres including the Swan Theatre, home of the Royal Shakespeare Company.

We tour some of the Cotswolds' most famous and unspoilt villages. Be on the lookout for the characteristic honey-coloured cottages and buildings! We begin at Stow-on-the-Wold, a market town on top of Stow Hill. Notable places of interest include medieval St Edward's Church and Market Square with the limestone-arched Market Hall at the centre.

We then continue to Broadway, in the very heart of the Cotswolds. Often thought of as one of the prettiest villages in the Cotswolds, see the honey-coloured limestone on Broadway High Street, used throughout the Cotswolds, and marvel at the quaint cottages and houses which line the streets next to horse chestnut trees and pristine grass verges.

After checking out of our hotel we begin our journey home.
