This full day tour begins in Burford, where the magnificent high street holds every variety of Cotswold stone. There will be time to visit the tea houses and shops before we head south to Bibury. This charming village was described as the ‘prettiest village in the Cotswolds’ by William Morris.What better way to satisfy your hunger than with a fabulous two-course lunch (if option selected) in the Swan Hotel situated in the centre of Bibury? The 17th century former coaching Inn overlooks the River Coln, and serves a fabulous range of traditional cooking, ales and fine wines.In the afternoon, you will take a leisurely drive through charming villages before visiting Stow-on-the Wold, one of the most picturesque parts of the northern Cotswolds. Your guide will take you on a short walk in each village, explaining their history before re-joining the coach and returning to London.
