Cotswolds & Shakespeare

Follow the traces of William Shakespeare in the historic old town. A longer walking tour explores the surroundings of Stratford.

Transfer to Hidcote, where you can visit the stunning gardens. Walk to Chipping Campden, one of the pretty towns of the Cotswolds (transfer also possible to Chipping Campden). The main street is seamed by the typical stone cottages with sumptuous gardens. Visit the „Wool-Church“, wealthy wool merchants of the Cotswolds used to donate churches. Continue your walk to Moreton-in-Marsh where you will stay overnight.

Put on your walking boots and follow the paths across meadows and fields through Sezincote, with the unique Mughal house, past Stow-in-the-Wold, the highest village of the Cotswolds and through pretty Lower Slaughter to Bourton-on-the-Water.

Today you follow the pretty stream Windrush to Naunten. Here you cross the Wolds to Winchcombe, once capital of the Saxons.

Broadway, often referred to as the "Jewel of the Cotswolds", is an ideal starting point for unique walks. Along the "Broad Way" you will find delightful shops and fine restaurants as well as magnificent houses. Walk along the Cotswold Way and enjoy the magnificent views.

Continue to the well-preserved village of Stanton, which seems to have stood still in time. Your walk takes you to Snowshill, a cosy little village with many pubs, before walking back through the valley to Broadway.
