What to see and do in the Cotswolds

Most of the villages are very small with very little public transport. The nearest airport is Bristol or London Stansted.
Once you’re there, it’s best to rent a car. If you choose one with an automatic transmission, it’s easier to drive on the left.
Every corner of the Cotswolds has something special to offer. Here are some of the must-see stops for your visit:

  • Bibury: This village, often called the most beautiful in England, is famous for Arlington Row, a row of weavers’ cottages dating back to the 14th century. The stone cottages with pitched roofs, surrounded by green fields, look like something out of a postcard.
  • Bourton-on-the-Water: Known as the “Venice of the Cotswolds”, this village is crossed by the River Windrush and is ideal for strolling over small bridges and enjoying the local cafes and shops.
  • Castle Combe: If you’re a film buff, this picturesque village will be familiar to you as it has been the setting for several films. Its cobbled streets and old houses will make you feel like you’ve stepped back in time.

The Costwolds is one of the best destinations to people love nature and hiking. Outdoor enthusiasts will find the Cotswolds a natural paradise. One of the most popular routes is the Cotswold Way, a 100-mile trail through hills, woods and fields with breathtaking panoramic views.
Another highlight is visiting historic gardens and parks, such as Hidcote Manor Garden, one of England’s most famous gardens, ideal for wandering through hedgerows and flowers. If you’re traveling with the little ones at home, we recommend Adam Henson’s Cotswold Farm Park, a farm where visitors can meet all kinds of animals, from goats, pigs, rabbits and sheep.
