With its rustic rural charm, rolling hills, vibrant market towns and picture perfect villages, the Cotswolds offer unspoilt countryside and picturesque villages built of the honey-coloured stone for which the region is famous.

There is also the opportunity to visit 2 historical cities – Gloucester and Cheltenham – as well as the charming Cotswold village of Painswick with its famous Rococo Garden.

Itinerary
Day 1 Arrival
We arrive at our hotel in time for dinner.
Day 2 Cheltenham & Steam Train to Broadway
This morning we have some free time to explore Cheltenham at leisure. This Regency town, made popular as a spa destination by George III, is brimming with history. As we stroll along the promenade, it's easy to see why it became a favourite amongst 18th century aristocrats after its health-giving spa waters were discovered. Cheltenham is also famous for its festival and the Gold Cup, so it is fitting that we head to Cheltenham Racecourse to board the Gloucester-Warwickshire steam train to the nearby town of Broadway, nesting in the Cotswolds. Here, we have time to browse this interesting Cotswold town before returning to our hotel.
Day 3 Gloucester & Painswick Rococo Garden
We spend this morning in Gloucester with time to explore at leisure. We can visit the medieval Cathedral (used in most of the Harry Potter films as Hogwarts), the award-winning Gloucester Waterways Museum overlooking the River Severn, and the restored historic Victorian Docks that now buzz with museums, shops, boats and restaurants. In the afternoon we make our way to the delightful Cotswold village of Painswick, famous for its churchyard with 99 yew trees and the famous yew clipping ceremony in September. While here, we visit the Rococo Garden, designed in the 1740s for the owner to use as his 'playground'. Positioned in a hidden valley offering spectacular views of the surrounding countryside, it features intriguing garden buildings, magical follies and flowers and colours that transform by the seasons.
