Your adventure begins in Oxford before a transfer to Bibury, where a gentle walk through honey-coloured villages and open meadows sets the pace for the days ahead. A private tour of Tetbury—once a medieval wool market, now one of England's most celebrated antiques destinations—reveals the Cotswolds' layered history. The evening concludes with a welcome dinner at Whatley Manor.

A morning walk along the Cotswold Way takes you from the sweeping panoramas of Coaley Peak through woodland and into the peaceful valley of Woodchester Park, past the Gothic shell of its unfinished mansion. A picnic lunch with local vineyard bubbles is followed by a private tour of Highgrove Gardens—King Charles III's celebrated passion project, four decades in the making (subject to the King’s schedule). The afternoon ends at Whatley Manor in time to  enjoy some down time before dinner in a local restaurant. 

After a stop in Castle Combe—one of England's most beautiful villages—a ridge walk above the Avon Valley delivers sweeping views of Bath before the canal path leads you into the city itself. A private afternoon tour uncovers the Roman Baths, hidden courtyards and the grandeur of the Royal Crescent well away from the crowds. You end the day at The Pig, a characterful Georgian retreat in the Mendip Hills.

A morning hike across the high ridges of the Mendips—past prehistoric barrows and wide open moorland— marks a striking shift from Cotswolds charm to Somerset's wilder, more elemental character. Lunch at the Waldegrave Arms, a quintessential village pub, is followed by a guided walk through the ancient Stanton Drew Stone Circles. The evening is yours to dine at the hotel or take a shuttle into Bath.

A walk through farmland and rolling hills arrives in Bruton, a small town with an outsized creative spirit. Lunch is at a much-loved spot combining a bakery, restaurant, and renowned gallery. The journey concludes at The Newt in Somerset, a working regenerative estate of extraordinary beauty, with a cider-making experience in its own cidery. A final dinner in the Botanical Rooms brings the trip to a fitting, seasonal close.
