Cotswolds Day Tour & Tea with In and Beyond Bath

Located in South West England, Bath is not only famed for its Roman baths and Georgian architecture but also serves as the gateway to some of the country’s most pristine countryside. Just a short trip out of Bath by In and Beyond Bath offers a deeply personal half-day journey into the rural beauty of the Cotswolds, with a particular highlight on the village of Castle Combe. Known for its charm and remarkably well-preserved medieval streets, Castle Combe feels like stepping back in time, framed by lush rolling hills and gentle stone cottages crafted from the region's distinctive golden limestone. This shared tour immerses visitors in the Cotswold countryside's quiet elegance without the swell of the typical tourist crowds.

What sets this tour apart is the seamless blend of scenic drive and curated cultural experience. The luxurious transport whisks you through lanes bordered by ancient hedgerows and pasture lands dotted with sheep grazing under open skies. Upon arriving at Castle Combe, a knowledgeable guide reveals the village’s local anecdotes and lesser-known treasures, ensuring a rich understanding beyond the postcard views.

Completing the experience, attendees partake in traditional afternoon tea at a classic Cotswolds inn, where you can savor fresh scones, clotted cream, and fine teas in a setting that reflects the region’s understated refinement. This combination of gentle outdoor immersion and refined culinary tradition makes In and Beyond Bath an exceptional choice for travelers who value authenticity and comfort.

In a region where every stone and hedgerow has a story, this half-day trip offers a grounded encounter with both the landscape and local heritage. It’s especially well suited for those who want to appreciate the rural English countryside at a thoughtful pace and with expert insight, making it an indispensable part of any visit to Bath and the surrounding Cotswolds.
