Bourton-on-the-Water
Our second stop is Bourton on the Water, also known as 'Venice of the Cotswolds', thanks to the stone bridges that cross the River Windrush as it flows through the centre of the village. Here you will have time to browse the boutique shops nestled amongst the quaint streets on both sides of the river, or indulge in a cup of tea and a scone.

A beautiful manor house overlooks the village, and a quintessential Cotswolds inn nestled in the corner of the village is where we will stop for lunch. Please note, the cost of your lunch is not included in the tour price, and lunch itself is completely optional. Please confirm at the point of booking if you would like to include this option.

After visiting the village of Lower Slaughter, we will drive to Broadway Tower; a fascinating and historic folly designed by Capability Brown. Please note, we will not be allowed to enter to tower, nor use the steps to the top.
