The Cotswolds is known for beautiful hikes, with designated trails including the Cotswolds Way, as well as the Winchcombe Way. For those looking to get their steps in, there's a nice 7-mile loop via Sudeley Castle and Hailes Abbey.

Less than 10 minutes walk from Winchcome Center lies Sudeley Castle and gardens, a 15th century castle and resting place of Catherine Parr (one of Henry VIII's many many wives..).

Enjoy a Heritage steam railway trip from Winchcombe to Broadway with lovely scenic Cotswolds views! Once you're in Broadway, it's a delightful place to spend the day pottering, with options for lunch, afternoon tea and museums. There's also a mile walk to the iconic Broadway Tower with beautiful views of the surrounding areas.

No trip to the Cotswolds is complete without a stop in Bourton-on-the-Water! Take a 20 minute uber/taxi/drive to one of the most popular and iconic little Cotswolds villages, equipped with a Model Village, Home of Brum (and a lot of other classical cars) as well as a lovely destination for a picnic or ice-cream alongside the River Windrush.

Cheltenham is the closest "big town", around 20 minutes drive. It's a nice place to explore, and will have a wider range of stores, bars and restaurants if you fancy escaping from the tranquil Cotswolds!
