Seven-Day
Cotswolds/West Country/South Wales/Wessex Tour

all the locations in our three-day West Country/Cotswolds Tour plus the
magnificent Warwick Castle, Stratford-upon-Avon—Shakespeare’s
birthplace—and Longleat— the English estate currently the seat of the
Marquis of Bath. However the whole idea of our tours is we can
customize the tour to include only what you want to see. Guide price
