DESCRIPTION:Saved in Palaner as: saved\n\nPalaner match: 39% · why: lots of
  people going\n\nCome along on Saturday 15th August to visit two villages 
 and a town in the Cotswolds!\n\nAbout the day\nThe Cotswolds are a range o
 f 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.\n\nWe will be visiting two villages and a town\, all very pretty wi
 th houses made of local stone\, old churches with streams and all on the e
 dge of the surrounding countryside.\n\nTetbury\nAs one of the best-preserv
 ed 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 w
 ool town\, it is now the antiques capital of the Cotswolds with 25 special
 ist 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.\
 n\nCastle Combe\nIs a quintessentially English village which is often vote
 d the 'prettiest village in England'. It is quite a small village\, with i
 ts cluster of Cotswold Stone cottages and lack of modern buildings – no ne
 w houses have been built in the centre of the village since about 1600. Th
 e view by the river bridge is a famous picture postcard scene. It has appe
 ared in may T.V shows and films\, including the 1967 film 'Doctor Dolittle
 ' and the 2011 film 'War Horse'.\n\nLacock\nIs a spectacularly preserved m
 edieval village\, almost entirely owned by the National Trust. There are n
 o overhead wires or modern store fronts\, making it feel like you've stepp
 ed back in time and making it an instant movie set. It has two 600 year ol
 d pubs and a fantastic abbey\, which was used in the Harry Potter films. I
 t was also featured in T.V productions of Pride & Prejudice\, Emma\, Cranf
 ord and Downton Abbey.\n\nCoach seating\n\nIf you wish to reserve a seat o
