Have You Considered?
This tour is considered “active” — Many of Britain’s historical sites and city centers are best explored on foot. Be prepared for stairs, steep slopes, and areas inaccessible by vehicle. This allows for a more intimate experience of Britain’s rich history and architecture. Have you considered adding endurance and strength exercise to prepare for the trip? Here are four types of exercises and examples of each to get you going.
Did You Know?
The Cotswolds are famous for their honey-colored limestone, used in many of the buildings. This distinctive feature gives the region its charming, picturesque appearance. The limestone was formed during the Jurassic period and has been used in construction for centuries. Many buildings in the Cotswolds are protected, ensuring this unique heritage is preserved for future generations.
A Tip To Prep For Your Trip
Air conditioning in UK hotels is not as common as in some other countries, particularly in older or more traditional accommodations. If it’s not available, you can often request a fan from the hotel’s reception to ensure your comfort. During summer months, it’s advisable to book rooms on lower floors or north-facing rooms, which tend to be cooler. Some hotels may offer portable air conditioning units upon request, so don’t hesitate to ask if you’re concerned about staying cool.

Hear it from our Tour Directors! Joe Royle notes, “My top ‘must visit’ places includes Mr. Fogg’s Tavern, Covent Garden. A very small traditional English Pub, with noodles of fascinating ephemera all around the inside. The food is excellent too. I’ve visited numerous times and have never been disappointed!”
