You heard it here first: New Cotswolds tours from Oxford!

📢 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! 📢

We’ve got some exciting news for travellers and Cotswolds enthusiasts alike! From January 2026, Go Cotswolds is launching two brand-new tours, which depart directly from central Oxford!

For years, visitors from Oxford have joined our popular Cotswolds tours by taking a short train ride to Moreton-in-Marsh. You can still do that – but now, we’re bringing the beauty of the Cotswolds even closer! For visitors to Oxford, it’s now easier than ever to explore charming villages, stunning countryside, and historic towns in a single day.

NEW TOUR #1:

  • Burford – the “Gateway to the Cotswolds” with its picturesque streets
  • Bibury – voted one of the prettiest villages in England
  • Bourton-on-the-Water – often called the “Venice of the Cotswolds”

Along the way, our knowledgeable guides will share local history, fascinating anecdotes, and point out hidden gems that most tourists miss. It’s the perfect day out for first-time visitors, or alternatively, for anyone who wants to fall in love with the Cotswolds all over again.
