Itinerary
Day 1: We depart from your home area in the morning travelling to The Shap Wells Hotel for an overnight stay dinner, bed, and breakfast.
Day 2: After breakfast we travel to Stratford-upon-Avon arriving at the Charlecote Pheasant Hotel for a 4 nights stay dinner, bed and breakfast.
Day 3: This morning, we visit the fantastic Sudeley Castle and Gardens, located in the heart of the Cotswolds. The castle hosts exhibits of fascinating treasures, from ancient Roman times to the present day. Outside, the castle is surrounded by a breathtaking 1,200-acre estate and ten award-winning gardens. The centerpiece is the Queen’s Garden - a must-see on this excursion. This afternoon, we visit the spa town of Cheltenham, located just outside of the Cotswolds for free time. Maybe enjoy a walk down the promenade which is considered one of the most beautiful in the country with its tree-lined avenue flanked by smart shops and cafés.
Day 4: After breakfast, we head for Hidcote Manor Garden, an Arts and Crafts garden in the north Cotswolds, just a stone’s throw from Stratford-upon-Avon. Explore the maze of narrow paved pathways and discover secret gardens, magnificent vistas, and plants that burst with colour. Later this afternoon we travel to Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of Shakespeare. We have plenty of time to wander the streets looking for a bargain in an independent store, or maybe visit Shakespeare’s birthplace to learn more about the man himself.
Day 5: Today we travel to Painswick Rococo Garden which is the only surviving garden of the Rococo period open to the public. Instead of an orderly flower garden, this is a haven of peace and tranquillity to explore, with quirky features sprinkled around to tickle your fancy. Gloucester is next this afternoon, where we can enjoy the afternoon amongst the pretty cityscape. Perhaps visit the quayside, dockyards, and museums, maybe enjoy lunch in the town, or visit the high street for some retail therapy.
Day 6: After breakfast, we leave and begin our journey home, heading north to our overnight hotel The Shap Wells Hotel for dinner, bed, and breakfast.
Day 7: After breakfast, we continue our journey home.
