Enjoy a Family Vacation in the Cotswolds 

There are so many amazing things to do while enjoying a family vacation in Cotswold. But today, I am going to share the villages you should consider visiting during your Cotswold family trip. This way, you can get an idea of where you want to spend your time during this special trip to England.  

Cirencester 

The name of this village may be difficult to pronounce, but it is one of the best ones to visit while on vacation in Cotswold. Cirencester is one of the larger villages too. Therefore, it is also one of the most popular.  

During your time in this village in Cotswold, you can visit the Corinium Museum, check out the ruins of the Roman Amphitheatre, and see the Parish Church of St. John the Baptist. A picnic at Cirencester Park is also a nice way to spend a couple of hours of your day.  

Upper and Lower Slaughter 

Don’t let the names of these villages fool you. They are actually quite charming and beautiful. The villages of Upper and Lower Slaughter are only one mile apart. They meet at the River Eye.  

You will find more attractions in Lower Laughter. However, that doesn’t mean you should skip over the upper village since they are so close together.  

Broadway 

Broadway is one of the best villages in Cotswold for food and antique lovers. Yet, there is so much more for families here. Little ones will enjoy all the family-friendly activities inside Activity Park.  

Older kids will want to check out Clay Pigeon Shooting, while adults will prefer the Cotswold Distillery Tour. The best views of the village can be seen from the top of the Broadway Tower. You simply need to climb three stories to see those views.  

Burford 

Burford is the village that is known as the Gateway to the Cotswolds. A walk down High Street will allow your family to reach a medieval stone bridge. That bridge crosses directly over the River Windrush.  

A couple of hours can be spent at the Burford Tolsey Museum. Or at the Burford Garden Center. But if the kids get bored, you can all head into the boutiques and antique stores to do a little shopping.  

Chipping Campden 

Chipping Campden is another one of the larger villages in Cotswold. This village hosts many of the festivals within Cotswold throughout the year. If you want to attend one, simply let me know, and we can plan your family trip to Cotswold accordingly.  

Stow-on-the-Wold 

You may feel as if you have stepped into a Tolkien novel when you enter the village of Stow-on-the-Wold. Especially when you see the two yew trees outside St. Edward’s Church.  

Your family will find plenty to do in this small village. Start by wandering through the bookstores. Then hang out in the market square or a local café with a cup of coffee or tea. Don’t forget to walk around and admire the golden cottages.  

Painswick 

Painswick is one of the most photogenic villages in Cotswold. Make sure your camera’s batteries are charged before you head to the churchyard. There are almost one hundred yew trees located there. They all create a unique backdrop.  

Another stunning place to visit in Painswick is Rococo Garden.  

Bourton-on-the-Water 

If your family loves toys, you should take the time to visit the Cotswold Motoring Museum and Toy Collection in Bourton-on-the-Water. Another fun family activity is tackling the Labyrinth at the Dragonfly Maze. It shouldn’t take you too many hours to find your way out!  

These are the best villages to visit when you are enjoying a family vacation in Cotswold. Of course, I can add any of the other villages in Cotswold when I personalize your family vacation there.

Where to Book a Surprise Trip to Celebrate Your Graduate 

Hawaii 

There is no senior in the world that would argue over a dream trip to any of the Hawaiian Islands.  So, choose an island and take your graduate on the trip of a lifetime.  Your days can begin on the sandy beaches and end with gorgeous sunsets.  Add in a little luau, a few leis, and a tour or two, and your graduate will love their time before college begins.   

Alaska 

Alaska might be cold during most of the year, but those temperatures rise during the summer months.  And yet, you can still see the glaciers, fjords, and many wild animals.  You can spend your time in one of the major cities, or you can choose to venture to a smaller destination within the state.  There is no right or wrong way to explore Alaska as long as you are seeing the sights you want to see the most.  I love the UnCruise Adventures up in Alaska because they allow you to see some incredible areas that most people do not even know exist.   

Yellowstone National Park 

Adventures by Disney offers an incredible escape to Yellowstone National Park.  Imagine spending lots of time outside with your graduate as you do a little horseback riding, rafting, and hiking.  Just imagine the photo ops you can get with Old Faithful in the background! You might want to take the graduation gown with you to capture the memories one last time.  

Banff, Canada 

If you are ready to travel out of the US, you can always consider a trip up to Banff, Canada.  There is a plethora of outdoor activities to do there, including hiking, rock climbing, and fishing.  This trip is more for outdoor enthusiasts, so if this describes your graduate, you will know this is the perfect trip for them! You can stay at a luxurious resort, which means lots of pampering after long days of exploring the rugged territory or walking the city streets.   

Small Ship Cruises 

American Cruise Lines does not offer your standard cruising experience.  Instead, they offer a smaller cruise opportunity for those who do not want to deal with the crowds.  Of course, you still receive amazing hospitality, delectable cuisine, and the entertainment you crave when you are on vacation.  They offer many different destinations, but your graduate might prefer seeing some of the sights up and down the Mississippi River.  Most of the cruises average eight days in length, which is the perfect amount of time to celebrate your graduate. 

These are a few of the best destinations for a surprise trip to celebrate your graduate.  I understand it will be difficult to choose from them all, which is why I recommend determining which one will match the personality of your graduate while also providing the things they love to do the most.  After all, a graduate that loves the beach will not want to spend their days in the mountains of Banff, just like a nature-loving graduate is not going to want to be anywhere but the great outdoors.
