This new tour offers excellent value for money with no less than five top attractions included along with scenic drives to four of the Cotswold's most beautiful towns. We've even included a lunch and cream tea along the way, and a lovely four star hotel! Spend time in four majestic gardens that should be bursting with colour at this time of year. This beautifully drawn garden map will help you plan your time in the quaint family-run gardens at Kiftsgate Court and this town map from broadway-cotswolds.co.uk will help you make the most of your free time in Broadway. We'll visit Eastnor Castle who are proud winners of a 2022 Travellers' Choice Award from TripAdvisor, placing them in the top 10% of attractions worldwide (for the third year running)! Another castle on the tick list during this tour is Sudeley Castle and Gardens. In March 2023 Sudeley opened The Pavilion, a beautiful new glass eatery with views of the Cotswold Hills and an outdoor terrace. Perhaps pop in and treat yourself to one of the freshly made snacks or cakes on their tempting menu.
You're due to be in the capable hands of Jason for this tour, he looks forward to welcoming you on board.
We'd be delighted to request more rooms from the hotel for this popular tour, please send through your booking request and we'll check availability.

Monday
Take a scenic drive along the meandering River Severn and through the deep green Wye Valley to Ledbury, where black and white, 17th century timber-framed buildings stand proudly in this medieval market town. Finish the day at the foot of the Malvern Hills, at enchanting Eastnor Castle with its magnificent state rooms and opulent bedrooms with friendly guides on hand to answer your questions.

Start the day at Moreton-in-Marsh’s lively weekly market before spending the afternoon at Bourton House Gardens (as featured on BBC2 Gardeners’ World) with stunning texture and colour combinations that come alive in summer. Highlights include a topiary walk, spring-fed water features and the delicious cream tea that we’ve included.

Disembark at Toddington where there’s time to pop into the café and see the museum memorabilia before we continue to Sudeley Castle holding treasures from the ancient Romans to the present day. Ten striking, award-winning gardens, sweep around the castle which is also the resting place for the last of Henry VIII’s six wives.
