A visitor to England often visits the well known places and misses out some of the extremely beautiful experiences that the countryside can provide you with. A day trip to Cotswolds will be an extremely refreshing and unforgettable trip.

One would remember their childhood days, when one of the first drawings that anybody does is a scenery with a cute cottage, gardens all around, a waterbody nearby and preferably amongst hills. A day trip to Cotswolds will take your memories drifting back to your childhood days and you will definitely be awestruck by the simple natural beauty of this place.

Cotswolds has many small villages and one should do some research on the net before deciding which places to go. I had done an indepth research and had decided that the first stop has to be a village by the name " Bibury". It is one of the most beautiful villages in Cotswolds and i would highly recommend to definitely visit this village first.

We took a train from London Paddington to Moreton in Marsh. From there there is very limited bus service, so it is highly recommend either to hire a cab there for the whole day or better to hire a cab from london and drive all way to Cotswolds. We started early 7am in morning and were in Bibury by 9am. We spend a good 2 hours there, had a wonderful British Breakfast and then we spent the whole day visiting 2-3 more nearby villages. The cab driver essentially acted as our guide and told us a great deal about the place.

The last train to London Paddington was at 5:30pm, so you would want to check the train timings before you plan your trip. If you have a lot of leisure time in your hands, then you might stay a day there as well; but a day trip will be more than sufficient.

Plenty of antique shops and souvinier shops in the villages. Enjoy shopping!!
