If you love the idea of charming villages, stunning countryside, and incredible farm-to-table dining, then a trip to the Cotswolds in England is a must 🍂
In this video, I take you along on our 4-day road trip through one of Britain’s most picturesque regions. Just an hour outside of London, the Cotswolds is a haven of storybook villages, historic landmarks, and unforgettable meals.
We explore iconic spots like Castle Combe, Broadway, and Lacock Abbey (a filming location for *Harry Potter*), while also uncovering hidden gems like Painswick and Stroud Farmers’ Market. From boutique hotels and cosy pubs to incredible local eats, this itinerary is perfect for anyone planning a countryside escape.
Grab a cup of tea and join us as we wander through chocolate-box villages, indulge in sticky toffee pudding, and soak up the dreamy English summer vibes.

Thankyou so much. What a lovely video of the Cotswold. I hope to go there in Maj. The countryside is so beautiful.

So enjoyed your video! Looking to visit London very soon and will for sure include the Cotswold during my visit. 🥂

You definitely should! Hope you have the best trip to London 💕

You stayed in Crudwell and didn't visit Malmesbury?!? The oldest borough in England, absolutely drenched in fascinating history, including the beautiful Abbey and Old Bell Hotel. It is an essential stop on any South Cotswolds tour.

I only know of this place because a German UA-camr called Coldmirror mentioned it in her Harry Podcast :D But it's a really lovely place 😊

Wow! I live in the UK. Your holidays are for upper class only, considered the prices here in the UK.

Too much of your face and less of the surroundings that to very limited details.....
