Overview of your London tour:

My connection with Cotswolds started almost 50 years ago when our uncle took us on a tour of the area. A great raconteur, he regaled us with stories of old England and England's Civil War of 350 years ago. Have you heard of the expression, "Any old Tom, Dick or Harry?" or where the expression spinster came from, for an unmarried woman? How about "keeping you on tenterooks"? The Cotswolds, a part of England famed for its honey coloured stone. In the Middle-Ages, this area produced the finest wool in Europe and the hunched stone built cottages & splendid churches stand as testimony to these prosperous days. On our tour, we will visit what is claimed to be the loveliest town in Cotswolds, as well as the "Venice of the Cotswolds". We'll also see an old water mill & the highest town in the Cotswolds, Stow, known as the antiques capital of England and its oldest inn. We'll take a tour of Oxford too, and visit some colleges whose history goes back centuries.
