Extend your trip

If you’re up for a little extra holiday magic, join us December 11-14 through the dreamy Cotswold countryside. We’ll wander through the postcard-perfect village of Castle Combe, enjoy a proper afternoon tea by the fire, and soak up the festive vibes at local Christmas markets. Think twinkling lights, mulled wine, and all the cozy feels.

There’s a visit to Blenheim Palace decked out for the season, plus a fun day trip to Oxford with a walking tour and a peek at some iconic Harry Potter filming spots. We’ll also spend time with adorable farm animals (yes, there will be photo ops!) and stop by a local distillery for a little sipping and sampling. It’s the perfect way to slow down, soak in the season, and enjoy the English countryside with the group.
