The Thames Path has many lovely walks along its 180 mile journey to the sea. The Cotswolds are steeped in history from the Roman times and there are some beautiful historic houses and estates to explore: Chedworth Roman Villa, Dyrham Park, Sudeley Castle. For further information on the Cotswolds Water Park area please ask us for details. There are over 100 lakes in the area, some are kept as nature reserves but many are used for fishing, kayaking, sailing, waterskiing and windsurfing.
