The Cotswolds - A small group tour. In June of 2021, I shall be leading a very small group of 6-10 people into the heart of a region known as the Cotswolds. It will be a 10 day tour and based in one location in a pretty market town in the heart of the region, Stow on the Wold ( St Edwards in the Marketplace). We’ll enjoy a huge number of activities, which will include visiting some splendid gardens and manor houses,  castles, remains of Roman villas, and good food everywhere. Bring your walking shoes, as we’re also going to strike out into the countryside for some charming country walks. The ‘Cotswolds’, are a charming area and I’m looking forward to enjoying a pint or two withe small group that will accompany me. If you’re interested, contact me through my email address and I’ll send you some more info.
