SMALL GROUP AND PRIVATE COTSWOLDS
DRIVING TOURS RUN BY A LOCAL
At Undiscovered Cotswolds we get off the beaten track so that you get to experience places that only the locals know about.
We can also take you to a traditional Cotswolds farm so you can finish off your day getting to meet some of the friendly local animals. Or how about a glass of prosecco whilst raising a toast next to the bubbling brook at the ruins of an ancient manor house, just as the sun goes down?

About Us
Ian Mowbray-Williams
I’ve visited more than forty countries across America, Africa, Asia, Australia, the Middle East and Europe, and still have many more on my list to see. Travelling has always been a passion, but it really kick-started with my 20,000km charity bike ride from London in England to Cape Town in South Africa in 2010. The journey was the best experience of my life.
I wanted to experience different methods of travelling, so during those four and a half years I cycled, rowed, walked, hitch hiked, motor cycled, used public transport and rode horses.
Graham Usher
From a very young age my parents instilled into me the importance of travel. They would always say ‘travel broadens the mind.’ Decades later I found that to be a massive understatement.
I started off travelling most of Europe and parts of the US up until the age of around 21. Then I took a leap into the dark and moved to Hong Kong for five years to work. This gave me the chance to see and experience how different cultures live, work and have fun. From here I spent months travelling around the Far East of Asia and Australia, as well as parts of Northern Africa, Europe and the US. During this time I saw many incredible things and met such wonderful people that travel became even more important to me.
