About
If you want to meet a local legend and learn one of the finest country skills then look no further than this tour. We can now offer a rare and exclusive tailor-made experience with one of the finest shepherds and sheepdog handlers in the world and one of the loveliest gentleman you could meet too.
We’ll whisk you away into the glorious Cotswold countryside via a scenic route, to the farm near the beautiful town of Northleach. On arrival, you’ll have tea and coffee in an 17th century farm cottage. You’ll then be out in the fields learning the skills of a shepherd and you will see the shepherd working his six sheepdogs and the progressions from the puppies through to his international award-winning dogs. Then it’s over to you as you have a chance to try your hand at working the dogs yourself and to be taught from one of the world’s best.
The experience will be around 1-3 hours depending on how much you wish to do and is a really fun, unique experience for all ages.
The afternoon will be a tour tailored around your interests in the Cotswolds, we’ll have the chance to see the famous sights such as Bibury and Lower Slaughter, or we can take you off the beaten track and visit the magical villages tucked away in the Cotswold countryside, or perhaps you want to sit by a fire and enjoy a relaxing afternoon tea in a manor. Whatever your choice, we’ll tailor the day to you.
Every tour is tailor-made to your needs and this tour can be completely modified and adapted your way, be that into a shorter or longer tour, include other destinations or include a stop for tea along the way. This is your day and we’re here to use our expertise to perfect your day in the country.
