Castles, Gardens & the Cotswold Way
In the Cotswolds, England's premiere walking and hiking destination, every step forward is also a step back in time. Follow cobbled paths through chocolate-box villages with honeypot cottages. Walk along woodland trails and rolling hills. Explore an ancient castle and savor a proper pint in a traditional English pub. Often quirky, always charming—join us in the Cotswolds and experience the past from the comfort of the present.
Highlights
- Walk classic English footpaths through gentle hills, wide-open meadows, serene green woodland and sheep-dotted pastures
- Explore welcoming picturesque hamlets brimming with honey-colored houses and flower-filled yards
- Admire beautiful abbeys and take leisurely walks, pausing to exchange hellos with the locals and take in some of England's finest gardens
- Linger over English tea and cakes, or pop into a cheery pub for a proper British pint with the locals
