In Active

As tempting as it is to spend your Cotswold break lounging around in the sunshine, don’t forget there are many activities – both gentle and more adrenalin-fuelled - guaranteed to make it a holiday to remember.  Whether it’s cycling (with electric help) to zip-wires and water sports, you’ll be amazed how many activities there are to fill up your sun-filled days.


The new fun fort at Sudeley Castle
There’s a whole host of ways to get active at Sudeley Castle this summer.  Every Wednesday throughout the holidays little lords and ladies are invited to join their ‘Children’s’ Wednesdays’ events, which includes a bouncy castle and an inflatable activity centre for under 5s.  On August 8, 15 and 29 there will also be a seven metre high climbing wall for young thrill seekers!  The castle’s new fun fort is open within the adventure playground – giving youngsters the chance to scale the wooden fort, explore the different levels, tackle the climbing wall and whizz down the slides and zip-wire.
