- Minster Lovell - Minster Lovell Hall & Dovecote: Explore the 15th-century ruins of the manor constructed by William Lovell, once among England’s wealthiest individuals. The site boasts a magnificent vaulted passageway and a circular Medieval Dovecote that originally contained 600 nesting holes.
St Kenelm’s Church: Located next to the hall, this church features the rare alabaster tomb of the Lovell family. Notice the “squints” in the architecture, designed to provide medieval worshippers with a clear view of the altar.
- Burford - St John the Baptist Church: Discover one of the UK’s top ten most-visited churches. It is renowned for its “wool church” grandeur and its darker past as a prison for the Levellers in 1649. Look for the name “Anthony Sedley” etched into the lead font by a captive mutineer.
- Little Barrington - St Peter’s Church: A hidden gem showcasing a 12th-century sculpted tympanum depicting Christ in Majesty and exceptionally preserved Georgian wall paintings from 1736.
The Fox at Barrington: Delight in a riverside lunch at this 17th-century inn. It is an ideal spot to enjoy local ales while the River Windrush flows past the beer garden.
- Bourton-on-the-Water - Bourton-on-the-Water: Dubbed the “Venice of the Cotswolds,” this charming village is renowned for its low arched stone bridges spanning the River Windrush. The driver will drop visitors in the village center, allowing them to stroll past the honey-colored stone cottages and explore the unique boutiques or the famous Model Village.
Greystones Farm Nature Reserve: A short walk from the village center, travel back 6,000 years at this working organic farm. Discover the replica Iron Age roundhouse and the ramparts of Salmonsbury Camp, an ancient “oppidum” or trading hub. In spring, the wildflower meadows are a highlight for nature enthusiasts seeking a tranquil escape from the village’s main hustle and bustle.
