There are endless possibilities for sports and sightseeing. Walkers can experience the Cotswold Way - a 100-mile footpath running from Chipping Camden to Bath - which runs past The Vine. The many local walks take in the nearby villages of Snowshill, Stanway and Buckland. There are several golf courses close at hand, including the well-known one at Broadway. Spend a lively afternoon at Cheltenham Racecourse.

To enjoy the Cotswolds' distinctive architecture and atmosphere, visit Broadway, Stow-on-the-Wold, Chipping Camden, Bourton-on-the-Water, Winchcombe and Sudeley Castle.

Other places of interest include Stratford-upon-Avon and the Royal Shakespeare Theatre; Warwick Castle; Oxford, Woodstock and Blenheim Palace; Tewkesbury and its 12th century abbey; Bath; and Hidcote Manor and Kiftsgate Court gardens.
