Prehistoric Stones and Honey-Coloured Villages
A Stonehenge and Cotswolds combo tour pairs the monument with the Cotswolds — a range of gentle limestone hills in central England whose villages (Bibury, Castle Combe, Bourton-on-the-Water, Stow-on-the-Wold, Broadway) are built from honey-coloured Cotswold stone and represent the idealized English countryside of thatched roofs, cottage gardens, and village greens. The Cotswolds are approximately 1–1.5 hours north of Stonehenge.
