Blenheim Palace & South Lawn
The Cotswolds covers a huge area – almost 800 square miles running through five counties – Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Warwickshire, Wiltshire and Worcestershire. Each area has its own identity, and yet all contain those defining features: golden stone and rolling hills, the ‘wolds’.
Our tour takes us to iconic Cotswold towns and cities, a beautiful Norman abbey with history running through its walls, the site of a faithfully conserved Roman villa and a collection of fascinating curiosities gathered in a splendid countryside manor - all set in one of the country’s greatest areas of outstanding beauty.
