I took the Cotswolds Highlights tour where in we travel to locations off the beaten track. to hillside villages offering wonderful views with beautiful cottages. We started the morning visiting Broadway Tower, the smallest castle in the Cotswolds with the best view in the region (entry:4.5GBP)
Just outside the broadway tower is a cafe with excellent views of the rolling meadows amongst the cover of clouds for you to enjoy a quick coffee. This tour is a great balance between remote peaceful villages & stunning market towns.
Set in a remote hillside location, this wonderful village of Snowshill is a breath-taking introduction to a Cotswolds village. Used as a filming location for Bridget Jones Diary, it will capture your heart.
Fancy an early morning pint at Snowshill Arms?
Snowshill Church
You will experience the tranquillity of the Cotswolds countryside in Snowshill, a remote village with no public transportation.
It has some very beautiful cottages.
Our next stop was in Stanway to have a glimpse at the Stanway Cricket Club House
You will have enough time to wander through this beautiful village called Stanton, out next stop to discover unusual features, photograph thatched cottages, or climb up the hill for spectacular views.
A thatched cottage - the thatched roofs supposedly costs millions of pounds and need to renovated every 7-8 years.
View of the village from top of the hill
There's a restaurant called Mount Inn on top of the hill with beautiful views and food!
Our next stop was the market town of Broadway. One of the prettiest market towns in the Northern Cotswolds. Wander along the wide main street. Have lunch at Crown and Trumpet Inn (pictured here is vegetable lasagna)
Enjoy the quirky shops on the high street after lunch.
Our last stop of the day was Chipping Norton. This hidden market town, located in the bottom of the valley is a photographers & historians dream.
We visited the Cotswolds famous Wool Churches, explored the beautiful curved high street, with it's many shops and tearooms
Do not forget to enjoy your traditional British afternoon tea at either Bantam Tea Rooms or Badgers Tea Room (both equally recommended; though i enjoyed the cream scone more at Bantam.
