A week in the Cotswolds

Thursday 21 October to Wednesday 27 October

We spent two nights in Cirencester. Rina and Menon came down in Daisy, their campervan to join us.

We enjoyed 2 really fun nights out. I can highly recommend Tierra and Mar; one of the best tapas places I have been to outside Spain.

And The Malt and Anchor is an award winning fish and chip place.

We met Patrick, Sally and Charlotte for lunch at the Green Dragon Pub in Cowley near Cheltenham; another gem in the area.

On Saturday we visited the farmers market in Stroud.

We checked into the Sundayshill Barn in Falfield with Tommy and Mandy, Mylene, Coenraad, Coemy and Lesley for 5 glorious nights in the South Cotswold countryside. 

This Airbnb is fantastic for group country getaways.

Nick and Kerry visited us from Cardiff for the day and we had a lekker braai and a groot kuier. 

We did day trips to Cirencester, Bristol and Thornbury and the very touristy Northern Cotswold towns of Bourton-on-the-Water and Stow- on-the-Wold.

Bristol's regenerated waterfront area is great and you can do a walking tour of the city to spot wonderful street art including lots by Banksy; a Bristol native.
