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.
