May, June and September 2012

Cheltenham, Gloucester Cathedral, Blenheim Palace, Oxford, Cotswolds Villages, Broughton Castle, Stratford-upon-Avon

We are pleased to offer Village Life™ in England's Cotswolds, where time has passed with an unusually gentle hand over the rolling hills and small limestone villages that have changed little since the 16th century. The tranquil region combines stunning natural beauty and rich cultural traditions with grand historic landmarks and charming villages.

Still defined by its stately Regency houses, immaculate gardens and family-owned shops, the splendid town of Cheltenham, where you will stay for one full week, has been an acclaimed spa destination since the 18th century. From here, you will explore the fabled quads of Oxford and the fairy-tale castle of Broughton, as well as several charming Cotswolds villages in the surrounding area.

By special arrangement, Lord Charles Spencer-Churchill, Sir Winston Churchill’s cousin and brother of the present Duke of Marlborough, hosts an exclusive guided tour and private lunch in Blenheim Palace, Britain's grandest private residence. During the exclusive Village Forum™, local residents share their insights about life in England's Cotswolds. To further enhance your experience, this carefully designed Village Life™ itinerary encompasses a series of expert-guided excursions and cultural enhancements, including a fascinating lecture by a local historian.

Complementing this one-of-a-kind sojourn are accommodations for seven nights in the historic Queen’s Hotel, ideally located directly on Cheltenham’s grand promenade. Built in 1838, the hotel and its exquisitely maintained gardens still attract the area’s finest for traditional afternoon tea.

Village Life™ in England's Cotswolds is very popular and an exceptional value including accommodations, excursions, several meals and the convenience of unpacking only once. So don’t delay—space sells out quickly. We encourage you to join fellow travelers and make your reservation today!
