Plan Your Trip to the Cotswolds

The Cotswolds cover such a vast area, so it is a good idea to plan your trip in advance to decide on your Cotswolds wish list, as there are many attractions, activities, as well as festivals and events across the area.  So, where do you start? 

You can use this website to view the wonderful attractions, check out what’s on and choose your accommodation as a start to planning your trip.  Once you have arrived you can visit one of the Tourist Information Centres where you will receive a personal touch to help you plan your trip further.  You can even pick up some gifts and souvenirs too.

Once you have decided on where you would like to go, you can then decide on what mode of transport you will take to get here.  Many towns and even some villages have train stations with many on the direct train line from London.  There are bus services and coach trips which are also a great way to get around.

If you have taken the train, you may choose to hire a car, or may just want to experience quintessential England in style and feel exhilarated by hiring a classic car. There are many roads and country lanes to explore, which lead to non-stop villages with the Cotswolds charm that you would expect.

Please make sure you follow the Cotswolds green code of conduct, but if you want to go that extra mile to help the Cotswolds stay beautiful for generations to come, then you might like to stay in a green accredited accommodation provider.
