Your Itinerary
Antiques in the Cotswolds
DAY ONE
Join the coach at your selected pick-up point for the journey to Regency Cheltenham. There will be an optional orientation tour, during which your Tour Representative will point out specific areas where antique shops are located. You will then be taken to Suffolk Road and Suffolk Parade, home to many antiques establishments. In the afternoon, after free time in Cheltenham, we’ll transfer you to your hotel.
DAY TWO
After your full English breakfast this morning explore the abundance of antique shops in the Cotswolds on our optional full day ‘Antiques of the Cotswolds’ tour. During the course of the day you will be taken to places of interest including Tetbury, Moreton-in-Marsh and Burford, where after time exploring and shopping you may wish to treat yourself to a scrumptious cream tea! Later this afternoon we will return you to the hotel.
DAY THREE
After breakfast today, we travel to Gloucester. Here you’ll have free time to explore the city centre with its great shops and the famous Gloucester Cathedral. We will then travel to Gloucester Docks, where you will have plenty of time to enjoy all of the attractions on offer. The Docks are an historic and picturesque part of Gloucester and many a rewarding hour can be spent strolling around admiring the many boats and barges that pass through. You could also pay a visit to The Soldiers Of Gloucester Museum or The British Waterways Museum, which operates popular boat trips around the canal. We also include a visit to the Gloucester Antique Centre, a genuine Aladdin’s Cave of treasures, housing over 140 dealers spread over 5 floors. With items on sale including china, jewellery, toys, golf memorabilia, antique prints and maps, Royal Doulton and furniture there is sure to be something here for every antiques enthusiast.
Later this afternoon, we must bid a reluctant farewell to the Cotswolds, and begin our journey homewards, returning you to your original pick-up point.
Please note: entrance to museums at the Gloucester Docks is not included.
