Cheltenham Festival 2016
…and they’re off! The 2016 Cheltenham Festival of horse racing started yesterday, which means it’s a busy, busy time in the Cotswolds right now! The Cotswolds capital of Cheltenham Spa (or “Cheltn’m” to its friends) plays host to a number of festivals throughout the year – Jazz, Science, Music, Literature – but the biggest and most […]
Seasons greetings and our Christmas schedule
Merry Christmas everybody. It barely seems like yesterday that we were touring the Cotswolds in the glorious summer sunshine and now it’s Christmas. It’s come around quickly but we’re certainly not complaining as we love Christmas! Lisa & I had our Go Cotswolds Christmas party last week – we headed to one of our favourite […]

We stop at seven different places on […]

Stratford-upon-Avon: a perfect base for visiting The Cotswolds
On Sunday’s tour we took a lovely family from Norway out to the Cotswolds. The 31st different nationality that has visited the Cotswolds with us. You may be able to tell by the frequency with which I mention the nationalities that this is something that pleases me greatly… It is, as meeting people from all over the world […]
Future tours now online!
On Monday we wrote a blog post about the fact that it was our 1st anniversary of being on Twitter* (Happy Twitter birthday to us). This was a rather tongue in cheek way of highlighting how different things were 12 months ago and also pointing everyone to our social media streams. We hope that you […]
