Cotswold Villages & the Severn Valley - Your Excursions

FULL DAY
This wonderful full day tour begins with the drive to the station where we board the famous Severn Valley Railway for the scenic journey to Bridgnorth (rail ticket included). Here the town is divided into two levels, linked by the country�s oldest and steepest cliff railway, with the main market square perched high on a hilltop overlooking the River Severn. In the afternoon we journey via hill and dale to historic Ludlow, once capital of the Marches and today one of Britain�s best preserved medieval towns.

FULL DAY
A full day tour of the Cotswolds, through the Vale of Evesham fruit growing area to the lovely village of Broadway, built in mellow Cotswold stone. From here we climb into the hills to Stow-onthe- Wold, noted for some of its specialist shops, and the picture-book village of Bourton-onthe- Water, set around its little river crossed by miniature stone bridges.

FULL DAY
A full day tour to the nearby city of Worcester, visited mainly for its historic cathedral, which is set beside the River Severn and the Royal Worcester Pottery - which offers fantastic factory shop bargains.
