Cotswolds villages in 3 days
Honey-stone cottages, market squares, and the longest national landscape.
The Cotswolds — Britain's largest National Landscape — runs from Bath to Stratford-upon-Avon and harbours some of the most photographed villages in England: Bourton-on-the-Water, Stow-on-the-Wold, Castle Combe, Bibury (the village Henry Ford tried to buy), and Chipping Campden. A three-day driving route through the Cotswold Hills hits all five.
