From Shakespeare to Stone Circles: Combining Stratford-upon-Avon with a Cotswolds Tour
Many visitors in 2026 make the mistake of thinking they have to choose between the history of Stratford-upon-Avon and the beauty of the Cotswolds.
The truth? You can easily do both. As the premier tour operator based in Stratford-upon-Avon, we’ve perfected the “Twin Centre” experience.
Why Stratford is the Perfect “Base Camp” for 2026
Stratford-upon-Avon has a massive range of accommodation, from boutique hotels to cozy B&Bs. But once you’ve seen the RSC and Shakespeare’s Birthplace, the rolling hills are calling.
The Itinerary: A Perfect 48 Hours
- Day 1: The Bard’s Town. Explore the riverside, the theatre, and the medieval streets of Stratford-upon-Avon.
- Day 2: The Cotswolds in a Day. We pick you up directly from Stratford-upon-Avon (at the Shakespeare’s Birthplace Coach Terminal on Windsor Street) and whisk you away to the “Best of the Cotswolds.”
2026 Highlight: The Rollright Stones
On our Secret Cotswolds tour, we take you to the Rollright Stones. These ancient monuments provide a fascinating contrast to the Tudor architecture of Stratford-upon-Avon, showing you a side of England that predates Shakespeare by thousands of years.
Getting Here from London
If you’re coming from the capital, you can take the train to Moreton-in-Marsh to join us, or head straight to Stratford-upon-Avon. We make the logistics seamless so you spend less time on Google Maps and more time taking photos.
