Best Day Trips in Stratford-upon-Avon 2025

Stratford-upon-Avon , West Midlands

From $ 110.06

Experience the best of the northern Cotswolds with a fun, friendly local guide in a small group of up to 16 people. We'll explore picture-postcard Cotswold towns and villages including Chipping Campden, Stow-on-the-Wold, Bibury and Bourton-on-the-Water. There's also the stunning Dover's Hill viewpoint, scenic back roads, and our "secret" off-the-beaten-track village, which many customers agree is a highlight of the tour! Tours depart from Shakespeare's Stratford-upon-Avon, or from Moreton-in-Marsh in the Cotswolds, so make an ideal day trip for visitors staying in these towns. It's also very easy to take a day trip by train from London Paddington, Oxford or Worcester (to Moreton-in-Marsh), or from Birmingham (to Stratford-upon-Avon). If you're travelling from London or Oxford, we think it's best to take the train to the Cotswolds and meet a tour here - you'll skip all the traffic, take a charming, scenic train ride, and get to spend even longer in the beautiful Cotswolds!

On this small group tour, embark on a journey through the wilder, sparser southern Cotswolds. Admire countryside views, discover ‘royal’ Tetbury, and step back in time in tiny Castle Combe. You'll explore the amazing World Heritage City of Bath, too! After collecting our guests from Stratford-upon-Avon (08.50) or Moreton-in-Marsh (09.30), we'll travel to Tetbury. This small, pretty and typically Cotswold market town is known for its quaint streets, historic market hall and great shopping - especially if you're into antiques. King Charles III lives at the nearby Highgrove Estate! From Tetbury, it's on to the UNESCO World Heritage City of Bath. First, we’ll make a quick photo stop at the iconic Royal Crescent. Then, we’ll drop you in the centre of Bath for 2 hours 45 minutes of free time to explore with maps we’ll provide. Grab lunch on the go so you can see as much as possible! Lastly, explore idyllic Castle Combe, consistently ranked as the “prettiest village in England”!
