SUMMARY:Day trip to Bourton-on-the-Water (Active 60)

Bourton-on-the-Water is known as the Venice of the Cotswolds\, with its many tiny bridges that cross the river Windrush. It’s a lovely place to spend a day\, strolling around the sights\, visiting the attractions\, browsing the craft shops or just watching the world go by over a cuppa or a little tipple. \nThe cost of the trip to include transport\, a cake and a drink\, is £20\, payable in advance. \nContact us to book your place and get more information.
