Why we love April in the Cotswolds
1.Spring in Full Bloom
By April, the Cotswolds has well and truly burst into life!
Thanks to the rising temperatures and longer days, the Cotswolds countryside is lush and green, with colourful flowers all around in full bloom. Daffodils, bluebells, and cherry blossoms create a stunning backdrop for your visit.
It is also lambing season in the Cotswolds, so expect to see adorable baby lambs frolicking in the fields.
Whether you’re a nature enthusiast or a keen photographer, spring in the Cotswolds is an enchanting experience not to be missed!
2. Easter in the Cotswolds
April brings Easter celebrations, making it an extra special time to visit. This year Easter Sunday falls on April 20th 2025 and many of the Cotswold’s charming villages and historic landmarks host Easter egg hunts, spring markets, and seasonal events.
Enjoy a traditional English afternoon tea or indulge in an Easter treat from a local bakery. Get into the Easter mood with a delicious hot cross bun or a piece of Simnel cake, and soak up the festive atmosphere.
3. Bath and Southern Cotswolds tour – Launches 15th April
