    I lived in Castle Combe back in 1976. The house(s) I lived in you can see just to the right at the end of the bridge 0:40 the one with the peaked entrance. The house belonged to my then fiancee's parents. The house in fact consists of two houses. The stone faced house and the white house beside it. They purchased both houses and connected them. We lived there for 6 months. It was very quiet indeed. Back then, as today there were no street lights. There were two pubs in the Market Square. One for the locals (The Castle Inn) and one across the way for the tourists. The one for the locals had a parrot and a beer drinking dog. This is the village where they filmed part of the original Dr Doolittle movie. Fun fact the wall along the creek was built for the movie Dr. Doolittle and only dates from the 1960's. The only problem we used to have was when buses of tourists would visit the village. They thought that no one lived in the houses and they often just walked into the house unannounced. That was always fun.

    If you visit Malmesbury then Avebury is only @ 20 miles away . This mystical site offers a similarly picturesque village but encircled with Stone circles that I feel are more impressive than Stonehenge and Pyramid style Silbury hill and other burial mound are nearby .Amazing !

    I live in South West England where there are many picturesque villages (such as the little known Selworthy); the cottages may be cob and the roofs thatched, so they're not the exquisite wood and stone of the Cotswolds but lovely all the same.

    Great summary and lovely video. Major towns nearby are Stratford upon Avon (Shakespeare), Oxford, Gloucester (lovely dockland and cathedral), Cheltenham. Many Americans stay over at Moreton in Marsh which is Central to many villages with visiting and 17 miles from Stratford upon Avon. A lovely walk between Moreton in Marsh and the Batsford Arboretum which has a lovely garden centre and Cafe is well worth doing, and just 1mile each way.

Please advise.

    Mr.Dennis Callan , I am always fond of your travel videos. This one on Costswold is also charming . Request your comments whether it would be better to stay in any of the villages at Cotswold and see the beauty of the surroundings instead of rushing through in a day trip . Can Mad Max Tour arrange for the overnight stay so that we can travel with comfort . In that case which village would you recommend for stay from where travelling around would be easier .Thanks .

  • @mcfrdmn

    Lovely video of the Cotswold district located in south-central England.
    The district looks it is out of medieval times.
    I realize that you filmed this video during the off season, however I am just curious as
    to the time of day that your filming took place. The towns look quite deserted from the
    outside, yet in the video church services were already taking place indoors.
    I am amazed that dogs were allowed to go swimming unattended in the town stream.
    This area seems to be a wonderful area to visit at any time of the year.
    What are the major towns/cities in this area?

    • @denniscallan
      @denniscallan  8 років тому +4

      Fortunately we got to Castle Combe first thing in the morning and had that tiny village all to ourselves. We traveled in May, which is off-season, so that kept the crowds down.

    Awesome Video as always. Does the Mad Max tour stop in at each village to walk & look? In Bourton-on the-Water, does the tour allow time to walk in the miniature village?

    • @denniscallan
      @denniscallan  8 років тому +1

      Thanks for the comment. Yes, the Mad Max tour we took does stop in each of the villages, with time to walk around. They do have a variety of different tours with similar chance to get out and walk around, varying from one itinerary to the next in details. We had a small group and could customize the routing to include Bourton, which is not always included. Check their website -- google madmax cotswolds. It's an excellent company.

    • @denniscallan
      @denniscallan  8 років тому +1

      about the miniature village, no we did not have time to walk through that in Bourton -- our stop there was rather brief. If you had enough people for a custom trip, say 5 or 6, you could arrange to include that.

      @copferthat 5 років тому

      Josette, yes it is. Whilst there do visit the renovated docks and their wonderful warehouses, once the main storage places for imported timber. The place has great bars and restaurants and take a boat trip up the river and get a good history lesson thrown in. Our boat was one of the Dunkirk little ships, fantastic. Make sure you also visit the cathedral, it's a jaw dropper. You are right on the edge of the Cotswolds too, a place everybody should visit once in their lifetime.

      Hi I have been already in Gloucester which we made our base in The Cotswolds.I plan to visit again but will choose a village to stay as we did not enjoy our stay in Gloucester because by five o'clock the city is dead and you need to go down to the docks for a meal or find a good pub to eat which we did and I would recommend The Fountain Inn with very good food and friendly staff
