When you're out exploring the Cotswolds with us, there's always time for a tasty break.... but here's the big question: 🍽️ A proper pub lunch — hearty, local, and maybe a pint to go with it? 🫖 Or a classic afternoon tea — scones, jam, and a cuppa in a cozy tearoom? Which is the best? #poll

One of our wonderful tour guides Mark spotted this beautiful family today.  If you're visiting soon, keep an eye out along the River Coln — and don’t forget your camera. But make sure you don't get too close. Swans can be very defensive if anyone gets too close to their babies.
