Chauffeur-Driven Tour of the Cotswolds

The Cotswolds cover almost 800 square miles across several counties, and the whole area is a protected landscape. It is the England people picture from postcards: golden stone cottages, sheep on the hills, rivers running through village greens and some of the best country pubs in the land. Whether you want to see Bourton-on-the-Water and Bibury, browse the antique shops of Stow-on-the-Wold or explore the quieter villages of the north, a private chauffeur lets you see it all without the stress.

Why Visit the Cotswolds With a Private Chauffeur?

The Cotswolds are wonderful to explore, but the lanes are narrow, the popular villages fill up fast, and parking is hard to find on a sunny weekend. Planning a route that fits several villages into a day can be tricky too. With a chauffeur, none of that is your concern. We collect you in London, drive you into the Cotswolds and stay with you all day, waiting in each village and changing the route to suit what you enjoy.

The drive from central London usually takes around two hours. That is far more relaxing in the back of a car than behind the wheel, and much more flexible than a coach tour. No parking, no timetable and no strangers on your trip. Just the villages you want to see and a comfortable ride home.

Bourton-on-the-Water

Bourton-on-the-Water is one of the most popular villages in the Cotswolds, often called the Venice of the Cotswolds. The River Windrush runs right through the middle, crossed by a series of low stone bridges, with wide green lawns on either side. The village is full of tearooms, shops and restaurants, and there is also the Cotswold Motoring Museum and Birdland Park and Gardens.

Your chauffeur will drop you in the centre and wait while you stroll along the river, cross the bridges and take your time over lunch or afternoon tea.

Bibury and Arlington Row

William Morris called Bibury the most beautiful village in England, and it is easy to see why. Arlington Row, a line of old weavers' cottages beside the water meadow, is one of the most photographed spots in the country. The clear River Coln runs through the village, and the Bibury Trout Farm has been working since 1902.

Your sightseeing chauffeur can plan your day so you reach Bibury early in the morning or late in the afternoon, when the light is best and the crowds are thinner, and will wait while you walk by the river and visit the trout farm.

Stow-on-the-Wold

At around 800 feet above sea level, Stow-on-the-Wold is the highest town in the Cotswolds. It sits on the old Roman Fosse Way and has been a market town since the Middle Ages. Its large square is lined with antique shops, galleries, delis and good restaurants. Don't miss St Edward's Church, where a north door framed by two ancient yew trees looks like something from a fairy tale.

Your chauffeur will drop you at the market square and wait while you browse the shops, visit the church and enjoy the views over the surrounding countryside.

Chipping Campden

Chipping Campden is one of the best-preserved old wool towns in England. Its long, curving High Street is lined with golden stone merchants' houses, and in the middle stands the Market Hall, built in 1627. The tall tower of St James's Church can be seen for miles. In the early 1900s the town became a centre of the Arts and Crafts movement, and there are still fine craft shops and galleries today.

Your chauffeur can combine Chipping Campden with Broadway, Moreton-in-Marsh or the view from Dover's Hill, one of the best in the whole region, for a full day in the north Cotswolds.

Cotswold Water Park

On the southern edge of the Cotswolds, across the Gloucestershire and Wiltshire border, the Cotswold Water Park is a huge area of more than 150 lakes made from old gravel pits. Today it is a place for sailing, paddleboarding, open-water swimming, wildlife watching and lakeside walks, a lively change from the quiet villages.

Your chauffeur can include the Water Park in a full-day tour, which works especially well for families or anyone who wants some outdoor activity as well as sightseeing.
