TOUR 28- Full Day

Highlights include:

• Professional Blue Badge Guide
• Visit to picturesque Cotswolds Villages
• Blenheim Palace Gardens and afternoon Tea

Steeped in history and heritage the area of England known as the Cotswolds is a charming blend of cottages with honey-coloured walls and thatched roofs, market towns with crooked half-timbered houses lining the High Street, and ancient stone crosses, all set in the gently rolling hills ('wolds') that are so typically English in character. The Costwolds landscape has been shaped by its long history as a centre of wool production, This tour takes you through some picturesque villages: Burford, Bourton on the Water and Broadway, where you'll see crooked little houses, leaning walls and gabled cottages, and surprisingly large Market squares harking back to the area's importance in the wool trade.

The magnificent park and gardens of Blenheim Palace are set in over 754 hectares of land, with 7 themed gardens including the water garden reminiscent of the grand chateaux of France and Italy, the Secret Garden with its unusual trees and shrubs, the Italian Garden with it's mermaid fountain and the very English Rose Garden.

Then its time for a traditional afternoon tea before heading back to London
