Frequently asked questions

What are the most beautiful villages in England?

The villages of the Cotswolds, such as Bibury or Castle Combe, and small cities such as Bath, York, Windsor, Oxford and Cambridge.

Can you visit them from London?

Yes: Windsor, Oxford and Cambridge are about an hour away, and Bath and the Cotswolds work well as a day trip.

When to go?

From April to September, with the gardens in bloom; in December many villages fill with Christmas lights.
