Join us for an outstanding tour of the beautiful Cotswolds region of England. This gorgeous area west of London is known for its historic villages built of golden stone, and picturesque hills and valleys — and as an inspiration for many famous authors, including Jane Austen when she wrote Pride and Prejudice. This tour introduces you to stunning rural settings — and includes bonus visits to outstanding prehistoric sites, like Stonehenge and Avebury. For “royalty” enthusiasts, there’s a tour of Windsor Castle and cycling around the home of Prince Charles … plus a possible side trip to Highclere Castle, where they filmed the acclaimed series and soon-to-be-movie Downton Abbey. Savor the quiet cycling on a canal path and rural byways and visits to historical gems like Bath, where you can still visit Roman-era baths — and the Jane Austin Centre. Experience the color of local pubs and friendly British hospitality. A local guide will accompany you and drive the van … along with a seasoned Discovery Bicycle Tours leader. You’ll enjoy fine inns and delicious foods along with historic sites you can only see in Britain. This tour is not to be missed!
