Escape London's crowds for a day trip to the picture-perfect Cotswolds for lunch. You'll visit a region that is forever England, seemingly unchanged by the modern world and famous for its beautiful villages and rolling hills. There will be time to visit the quaint villages of Burford and Stow-on-the-Wold before enjoying a fabulous two-course lunch in a traditional English restaurant. In the afternoon, visit the birthplace of Shakespeare, Stratford-upon-Avon.

Your full day tour of the Cotswolds begins in Burford, where the magnificent High Street features every variety of Cotswold stone. You'll have time to visit the town's small tea houses before heading north to lovely Stow-on-the-Wold.

Lunch beckons and what better way to satisfy your hunger than with a fabulous two-course lunch in the heart of the Cotswolds! The restaurant boasts a spectacular oak-beamed ceiling and a huge stone fireplace bearing witches' marks, and serves a fabulous range of traditional cooking, including classic bread and butter pudding for dessert.

The afternoon is spent exploring Moreton-in-Marsh, a lovely old market town which has a unique buzz and is home to the Cotswolds falconry center. You'll then continue north-west and out of the Cotswolds to delightful Stratford-upon-Avon. Here you will take a small walk through the town center, passing Shakespeare's Birthplace, before enjoying a cream tea in a charming inn.

From April 1, 2009: Afternoon refreshments will be served in Knot Garden (The retirement home of William Shakespeare) and include cream scones and Shrewsbury biscuits served with fruit juice and elder flower press.
