The day begins in Castle Combe, which is surely one of the most photographed villages in all of England. Little has changed here since the 15th century - no street lights or TV aerials. This mediaeval gem is famous for its picturesque cottages and babbling brook. Nestled in a wooded Cotswold valley, Castle Combe has been a favourite Hollywood filming location over the years for movies including War Horse, Stardust and Doctor Dolittle.

Thereafter, your journey continues on towards Tetbury, which is the home town of The King and Queen Camilla and neighbours their Highgrove Estate. Discover more about its fascinating history as a market town, famous in the past for the local wool and yarn industry. Walk down the Chipping Steps, an old entrance to the town and admire the picturesque weaver’s cottages. The centre of Tetbury is a conservation area and many buildings are hundreds of years old. Why not pop in to buy a souvenir from His Majesty's Highgrove Shop.

Stop for lunch in an historic country inn

This idyllic market town is famous for its picturesque and thriving centre full of thriving independent shops. This was also the scene of a famous English Civil War massacre.

Your journey through the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural beauty makes its way to the the picturesque twin villages of Upper & Lower Slaughter. Upper Slaughter has featured as a backdrop to several hit TV shows. Enjoy an optional short stroll through the tranquil English countryside to neighbouring Lower Slaughter (weather dependent) - it's like walking through a painting!
