The Cotswolds is a great romantic getaway for couples looking to spend quality time alone in the stunning English countryside. The golden stone villages, undulating hills and chocolate box market towns in this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty provide a beautiful bucolic setting for romance to blossom.
Chipping Campden is the perfect place to begin your romantic getaway as you wander hand in hand along its wonderful high street before enjoying some well earned afternoon treats together at a snug little tearoom. There is plenty of photo inspiration to be found in the quaint streets flanked by medieval buildings, and beyond those are garden squares abloom with flowers — making it a beautiful spot for snapping your special moments together.
For the most romantic day out, book a couples’ tour and take in Bourton-on-the-Water, which has been dubbed the Mini Venice of The Cotswolds. Centered around a tranquil village green with the gentle River Windrush flowing through its heart, Bourton has always remained as described by one of its inhabitants long ago: A very beautiful and peaceful place ideal for quiet talk in secluded spots — or Lovers Leap from either of two ancient stone bridges!
Some tour operators provide custom-made experiences for couples, such as wine-tasting at nearby vineyards that is part of a private itinerary complete with summer nights strolls in the fields and dinner in an award-winning gastropub. For Cotswold Tours, visit cotswoldtour.co.uk
Do not miss the Broadway Tower, where couples can ascend to panoramic viewpoints and watch as the sun sets over six counties – a truly magical moment that will last in your memories.
Whether you are celebrating an anniversary, proposing or looking to rekindle the romance in your relationship, a day spent together with Cotswold tours is guaranteed to make every moment feel like priceless moments straight out of a fairy tale.
