Let’s Go Cotswolding! (Yep, It’s a Verb.)
If you hear “Cotswolds,” and immediately picture charming-but-sleepy villages with locals dressed in wool and Wellies – you wouldn’t be wrong. Indeed, there is that, in all its countryside quaintness. But there’s so, so much more.
Deep Dive Description
A visit to the Cotswolds is part farmers market, part antique shop perusing. Part garden peeping, part pub hopping. It’s summer lavender fields and year-round hawk walks. Michelin dining stars, and a sky full of star-stars. Join other experience seekers on the pre-dawn jaunt to witness Stonehenge at first light (with camera ready to catch the flare!). Stroll King Charles’ meticulously maintained gardens at Highgrove. Or channel the Downton Abbey cast and sip tea at Highclere (period attire optional, but a superb idea). Learn the commands and whistles for sheepdogs. Take a pottery workshop with local makers. Hike a portion of the Cotswold Way, or take in the views from Broadway Tower. Sample your way through various cheeses at a private creamery tasting. Embark on a guided foraging walk. Make your own gin, or apron up for a farm-to-table cooking class. Options vary by season, and all offer a wonderfully memorable experience in this delightful haven not too-too far from London. Let’s chat, and I’ll map out a customized plan that caters to your personal interests.
