  • Bampton Library
    Our first stop is the charming village of Bampton, which many of you will recognise as the village of Downton from the hit TV series and forthcoming film "Downton Abbey". Here we can stroll around the village green and visit the church, see the Cottage Hospital, post office and Mrs Crawley's house from the TV show.
  • Burford Library
    We depart Bampton and drive along meandering lanes and rolling hills to the beautiful village of Burford, where the ancient stone cottages seem to cascade down to the River Windrush. After a guided walk we will enter a traditional Cotswolds pub for lunch.
  • Stow-on-the-Wold Market Square
    After our visit and lunch in Burford, we head onward to Stow on the Wold. It's vast market square would have held livestock fairs where up to 20,000 sheep would have been bought and sold. Visit the charming 16th century church and the Roman Wells. Stroll down the narrow alleys designed to keep the sheep in the square and the cold north wind out!
