Cotswold



One of the few things we heard about UK prior to coming here is its nice little towns. But unfortunately, Birmingham has proven to be such a disappointment in that respect. (You can choose to think that this is an understatement...)

The one-day Cotswold tour, organised by the Singapore Society, is a nice break from the industrial and polluted city that we have seen so far. The Cotswold Hills is famous for its beautifully preserved villages which capture the atmosphere of traditional English life. This trip, on the 18th of Oct consisted of a guided tour to places like the Perfumery at Bourton-on-the-water, Prinknash Abbey Pottery and Sudeley Castle. A stopover was made at Cheltenham, a beautiful spa town with elegant Georgian buildings and beautiful parks and gardens.
