The Cotswolds Effortlessly Bring the Classic English Countryside to Life
Whether you’ve seen it in scenes from Downton Abbey, imagined it in a Dickens novel or watched Jeremy Clarkson’s Farm, there is no denying that the Cotswolds are the picture-postcard definition of quintessential England. On a self-guided walking holiday, you'll spend your days hiking through rolling hills, farmland and pretty villages, arriving in your next stop just as most day-trippers are heading home. After the obligatory post-walk pint in a country pub, a hearty dinner awaits, followed by a night in a coaching inn that’s likely welcomed travelers for centuries. And the best part? You wake up the following morning and do it all again!
The Coast Tells Its Own Story
The South West Coast Path has been getting plenty of attention in recent years, thanks in part to the media buzz around The Salt Path book and film. It has done a brilliant job of putting the 630-mile trail on the map, but it has also stirred up its fair share of negativity around the authenticity of Raynor Winn's story. Regardless of the good or bad press - or what a court of law might say - the coast itself remains unchanged. Epic, spectacular and it does drama better than anyone!
