You can tour the brewery that brewed your favourite pint, or the distillery that produced your tipple of gin, visit the shop on the farm that reared your delicious Sunday roast beef and seek out the markets, deli's and artisan producers that supplied the treats on the inn's menu, then enjoy them at home.
Walk the Thames Path, take in the breath-taking view atop Cleeve Hill or walk some of the 102-mile Cotswold Way between Chipping Campden and Bath. And with nature reserves and arboretums of international importance, take some time to discover British flora and fauna.
Take a journey through time, exploring Roman Villas, medieval towns, Tudor castles and the birthplace of Winston Churchill. Explore glorious gardens - Hidcote and Rousham - heady with the scent of summer blooms. No visit to the Cotswolds is complete without strolling around the quintessential honey-stoned villages.
Water sports centres and off-road driving provide an adrenaline-rush; or slow down the pace with a steam train ride or a day angling on the Coln. Or, explore some of the countryside seen in Emma or Downton Abbey by horseback. Or, drift silently across the glorious Cotswold landscape in a balloon.
Escape to the Cotswolds and treat yourself to a night or two at one of these brilliant foodie inns.
