Cream of the Cotswolds & the Mendip Hills - England
Coach Tours - 5 Days

Tour Highlights
• Best of the Cotswolds and Mendip Hills countryside • Moreton-in-Marsh market
• Bourton-on-the-Water • Cheddar Gorge • Wells • Bath

Explore some of England’s most treasured landscapes, where mellow stone-built towns and villages are tucked away amidst rolling limestone hills. The Cotswolds became prosperous with the medieval wool trade, when fine churches and manor houses were built, unspoilt to this day. The Mendips, rising from the tiny cathedral city of Wells, are riddled with impressive caverns and ravines, culminating in spectacular Cheddar Gorge. This is coach touring country at its best - perfect for a relaxing short break.
