Cotswolds by Public
Bus & Train

For those that want to get to their Cotswold destination without having to hire a car then the easy option is to travel by public coach/bus or by train to the locality and then use public bus or taxi to final destination point.

It is perfectly possible to visit the Cotswolds from London just for the day, but we recommend that you plan to stay at least one night in the Cotswolds so you have time to enjoy the area and to saviour the early morning and evening times when you can enjoy glorious sunsets and the early morning magic of the rural charm. In popular villages, you will also avoid the crowds and have more chance to meet local people.

Please don't fall into the trap of trying to do too much in too shorter time. It is easily possible to spend several weeks exploring the Cotswolds - a visit say to Hidcote Gardens or one of the stately homes such as Blenheim Palace or Sudeley Castle will easily take up a good half-day - include a leisurely lunch and your day is just about gone!
