You'll have time to explore the local tea rooms, browse unique shops, and soak up the historic atmosphere.

Next, we visit Bibury – often called the 'Prettiest village in the Cotswolds', a title given by designer William Morris.

We’ll enjoy a short walking tour through the village before arriving at the Swan Hotel, a lovely place to relax and take in the view.
