Itinerary

Day 1 We travel across country toward Swindon and our hotel, making suitable refreshment stops along the way.

Day 2 Up into the Cotswolds we visit Batsford Arboretum, a fine horticultural collection and previously home to the Mitford family. Over lunch we are in the historic market town of Moreton-in-Marsh and in the afternoon we visit Sezincote. The house is surmounted with copper domes and minarets and is set in a picturesque water garden with seven pools and a temple.

Day 3 This morning we visit Cheltenham, known for its fine shopping and elegant promenade, before boarding the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway for a journey through the Cotswolds countryside to Broadway. Spend some time strolling through the honey-stone streets before we return to our hotel.

Day 4 After a leisurely breakfast, we visit another historic market town - Devizes, with more than 500 listed buildings and a large Market Place at its heart. We continue to Bowood House, where the fine Georgian building is surrounded by the Italian-inspired Terrace Garden, Walled Garden and glorious herbaceous border, and set within 100 acres of beautifully landscaped ‘Capability’ Brown Parkland.

Day 5 Departing after breakfast, we travel south east and visit Winchester, before continuing to the local area.
