Day trip by coach - two villages & a town in the Cotswolds! (NOW FULL)
Sat, Aug 15, 7:30 AMTHE TRIP IS NOW FULL, IF YOU WISH TO ATTEND, ADD YOURSELF TO THE WAITING LIST AND I WILL CONTACT YOU IF A PLACE BECOMES AVAILABLE. Come along on Saturday 15th August to visit two villages and a town in the Cotswolds! **About the day** The Cotswolds are a range of rolling hills in south central England about 25 miles wide and 90 miles long. The Cotswolds were declared an area of outstanding natural beauty in 1966. We will be visiting two villages and a town, all very pretty with houses made of local stone, old churches with streams and all on the edge of the surrounding countryside. **Tetbury** As one of the best-preserved and most stylish market towns in the southern Cotswolds. It started as the site of an ancient hill fort. In the middle ages, it prospered as a wool town, it is now the antiques capital of the Cotswolds with 25 specialist shops. The high street also has plenty of shops selling local produce. Just outside the town is Highgrove House, the home to King Charles III. **Castle Combe** Is a quintessentially English village which is often voted the 'prettiest village in England'. It is quite a small village, with its cluster of Cotswold Stone cottages and lack of modern buildings – no new houses have been built in the centre of the village since about 1600. The view by the river bridge is a famous picture postcard scene. It has appeared in may T.V shows and films, including the 1967 film 'Doctor Dolittle' and the 2011 film 'War Horse'. **Lacock** Is a spectacularly preserved medieval village, almost entirely owned by the National Trust. There are no overhead wires or modern store fronts, making it feel like you've stepped back in time and making it an instant movie set. It has two 600 year old pubs and a fantastic abbey, which was used in the Harry Potter films. It was also featured in T.V productions of Pride & Prejudice, Emma, Cranford and Downton Abbey. **Coach seating** * If you wish to reserve a seat on the coach in advance, after you pay please look at the seating plan in the photos [here](https://www.meetup.com/coach-day-trips-out-of-london/photos/36082033/535244665/) and then email me - [general@cultureseekers.org](http://general@cultureseekers.org), with the seat number/s you wish to reserve. Its first come first served. * The seat you sit on when you board the coach is yours for the day. If you wish to change seats on the coach during the day, you will need to get permission from the individual who is seated there. **Cost** Cost is £33 per person. After you RSVP: You will need to make payment (its not automatic), so either: \- send a bank transfer: TSB Bank plc\, sort code: 77\-66\-65\, account no: 00030809\, Account name: Cultureseekers \- Pay via credit card in advance \([https://pay.sumup.com/b2c/QDOWSSXO](https://pay.sumup.com/b2c/QDOWSSXO)) \- go to PayPal \- [https://www.paypal.com/uk/](https://www.paypal.com/uk/), then click on 'Pay & Get Paid‘, then click on 'Send Money’, put in the email address: [general@cultureseekers.org](mailto:general@cultureseekers.org) in the 'Send Money' box, then 'Next' and then enter the amount to pay.
