Day trip by coach - two villages & a town in the Cotswolds! (only £27)
Come along on Saturday 15th August to visit two villages and a town in the Cotswolds! About the day The Cotswolds are a range of rolling hills in south central England about 25 miles wide and 90 miles long. The Cotswolds were declared an area of outstanding natural beauty in 1966. We will be visiting two villages and a town, all very pretty with houses made of local stone, old churches with streams and all on the edge of the surrounding countryside. Tetbury As one of the best-preserved and most stylish market towns in the southern Cotswolds. It started as the site of an ancient hill fort. In the middle ages, it prospered as a wool town, it is now the antiques capital of the Cotswolds with 25 specialist shops. The high street also has plenty of shops selling local produce. Just outside the town is Highgrove House, the home to King Charles III. Castle Combe Is a quintessentially English village which is often voted the 'prettiest village in England'. It is quite a small village, with its cluster of Cotswold Stone cottages and lack of modern buildings – no new houses have been built in the centre of the village since about 1600. The view by the river bridge is a famous picture postcard scene. It has appeared in may T.V shows and films, including the 1967 film 'Doctor Dolittle' and the 2011 film 'War Horse'. Lacock Is a spectacularly preserved medieval village, almost entirely owned by the National Trust. There are no overhead wires or modern store fronts, making it feel like you've stepped back in time and making it an instant movie set. It has two 600 year old pubs and a fantastic abbey, which was used in the Harry Potter films. It was also featured in T.V productions of Pride & Prejudice, Emma, Cranford and Downton Abbey.
