Next stop is a visit to Shakespeare’s bride Anne Hathaway’s cottage and gardens. This beautiful little thatched farmhouse is the place where the Bard courted his bride and still to this day holds items or original furniture, including the Hathaway bed.

The Cotswolds

Visit what is often agreed to be one of the most beautiful areas in the whole of the UK. Quaint villages and breathtaking scenery, the Cotswolds looks like it jumped off the pages of a storybook. The tour makes photo stops at stunning two Cotswolds villages including Bourton-on-the-Water, also known as ‘Little Venice’ due to its low bridges and stone banks, and Bibury, a town that William Morris once described as ‘the most beautiful village in England’.

After a wonderful day of sightseeing, arrive back to London at approximately 7:30pm.
