2. Chipping Campden (45 mins)
Next, we head to Chipping Campden, a classic Cotswold market town known for its elegant, terraced High Street and beautifully preserved Market Hall. It’s the perfect spot to browse local boutiques, snap photos, or savor a quick coffee at a cozy café.
3. Snowshill Village (20 mins)
Every stop on our tour illustrates the magic of the Cotswolds in a day, making it an unforgettable experience.
Despite its brief visit, Snowshill charms guests with its quiet lanes, traditional Cotswold-stone cottages, and a serene atmosphere that feels worlds away from the bustle of city life. It’s a real hidden gem for photographers and lovers of pastoral England.
(Drive-By) Lavender Farm & Broadway Tower
Along the way, you’ll glimpse purple lavender fields stretching across the horizon—an iconic summer sight in the Cotswolds—and catch a quick view of Broadway Tower, one of the most recognizable landmarks in the region, perched elegantly on the skyline.
4. Stow-on-the-Wold (1 hr 10 mins, Lunch Stop)
Enjoying the Cotswolds in a day means you’ll have plenty of time to capture the stunning landscapes and charming villages along the way.

5. Bourton-on-the-Water (50 mins)
Often called the “Venice of the Cotswolds,” Bourton-on-the-Water captivates travelers with its low stone bridges and the gentle flow of the River Windrush. Meander along the riverside shops, visit the quaint model village, or simply relax as ducks paddle by your feet.
