The Cotswolds Sample Itinerary 2017 Your destination Cotswolds: The Cotswolds is a region of gentle hills, delightful cottages of local mellowed stone and secluded manor houses. The outstanding countryside is so ‘typically English’, sometimes you think time has stood still for over 300 years! The Cotswolds Sample Itinerary 2 2017 Your destination We have highlighted the main points of your journey on the map below. The Cotswolds Sample Itinerary 3 2017 Day by day itinerary Day 1 Arrival to the UK, transfer to the countryside with a visit to Highgrove Gardens 9.00am Upon arrival into London Heathrow, once you have passed through security and customs you will be met by your private driver-guide in the arrivals hall. He will be your driver-guide for the entire duration of your trip. Depart Heathrow and drive to your Cotswolds hotel, Barnsley House (approx. 1 hour 30 mins). Barnsley House Situated in the centre of the Cotswold village of Barnsley, is this wonderful (fully staffed) country house set in extensive landscaped gardens. The hotel is contemporary and stylish whilst remaining packed with character and has a dedicated spa, private cinema and 18 large and luxurious rooms to choose from. Once you have checked in, enjoy the balance of the morning and lunch at leisure. 1.00pm This afternoon, your driver-guide will transfer you to Highgrove Gardens (approx. 30 mins) for your afternoon champagne tea tour. 1.30pm Champagne Tea Tour at Highgrove Gardens Since 1980 when The Prince of Wales first arrived at Highgrove, His Royal Highness has devoted much energy to transforming the gardens around the house. For the last 25 years the gardens and surrounding land have been managed to the organic and sustainable principles that His Royal Highness has for so long championed, creating a space that “works with nature, not against it”. 3.30pm Following your tour enjoy Champagne Afternoon Tea in the Orchard Restaurant. The shop is also available to purchase delicious Highgrove goods. 4.30pm Depart Highgrove with your driver-guide and return to the hotel to enjoy the balance of the afternoon at leisure. O/N at Barnsley House A: Barnsley, Cirencester GL7 5EE T: +44 (0)1285 740000 The Cotswolds Sample Itinerary 4 2017 Day by day itinerary Day 2 Visit to Blenheim Palace and Oxford 9.00am This morning, your private driver-guide will meet you at the hotel to set off for your morning visit (approx. 45 mins). 10.00am Visit to Blenheim Palace Blenheim Palace was a VERY generous gift from Queen Anne and a grateful nation to John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough following his famous victory at the Battle of Blenheim in 1704. As well as the beautiful palace itself, the stunning grounds and the Great Lake, there is also the room where Sir Winston Churchill was born. After your visit, continue into Woodstock for a short tour and lunch at leisure. Woodstock Woodstock town is a collection of easy-to-explore historic, honey-coloured streets as lovely as any found in the Cotswolds. Wander in and out of interesting boutiques, unique art galleries and antique shops. 1.00pm A light lunch at leisure at The Bear, Woodstock Nestled in the heart of Oxfordshire, you will experience fine dining amidst the most picturesque streets of Woodstock. The restaurant holds two prestigious AA rosettes, awarded for their classic British menu with its fine seasonal ingredients and impressive wine list. After lunch, your driver-guide will transfer you into Oxford (approx. 30 mins) for a panoramic walking tour. 2.30pm Oxford What most people associate with Oxford is its university, and rightly so. Over the past eight centuries eminent scientists, philosophers, authors, archbishops, explorers and politicians have emerged from its ivory towers. However the city of Oxford is not to be forgotten, it is a medieval city seeped in culture and history with a lively mix of restaurants, pubs and theatres adding to its alluring and vibrant buzz. It is impressive to think that within one square mile alone, Oxford has more than 900 buildings of architectural or historical interest. With so much to see, a walking tour is the perfect way to explore the city and is a fascinating way to learn about this unique city, its history, famous people and odd traditions. 4.00pm Afternoon punting experience Try the quintessentially English pastime of punting, or have a highly experienced punter take you down the river on a beautifully hand crafted Oxford punt. The duration of the trip is entirely up to you, but you will undoubtedly drift past Oxford's famous Botanic Gardens, through Christ Church Meadows (where Lewis Carroll taught students at the time he wrote the famous Alice Through the Looking Glass and Alice in Wonderland) past St Hilda's College gardens and back to the Boathouse. At the end of the afternoon, your driver-guide will transfer you back to the hotel (approx. 1 hour) to enjoy the balance of the afternoon at leisure. O/N at Barnsley House The Cotswolds Sample Itinerary 5 2017 Day by day itinerary Day 3 Visit to Lacock Abbey and Bath 9.00am This morning, your private driver-guide will meet you at the hotel and transfer you to Lacock (approx. 1 hour). 10.00am Lacock You really have to rub your eyes and ask 'Am I living in the 21st century?' That's the Lacock effect for you. Lacock is a timeless, traditional English village that looks like it has just stepped out of medieval times. Or the pages of Jane Austin's Pride and Prejudice or JK Rowling's Harry Potter novels. Nothing is allowed to interfere with its looks, not even TV aerials or overhead cables. No wonder, then, that it's the star of many movies and period dramas, including the adventures of a certain wizard from Hogwarts School... Visit Lacock Abbey The Abbey is a quirky country house located in the heart of the village. Here you can experience the atmosphere of the medieval rooms and cloister count, giving a sense of the Abbey’s monastic past. The museum celebrates the achievements of former resident William Henry Fox Talbot who is famous for his contributions to the invention of photography. 12.30pm Lunch at leisure at the Sign of The Angel Inn A 2 AA Rosette awarded 15th Century coaching inn using the best local, seasonal produce served in an easy going atmosphere. After lunch, your driver-guide will transfer you on to Bath (approx. 30 mins) for your afternoon walking tour. 2.00pm Set off on a walking tour of Bath, to include the Roman Baths and Bath Abbey. Back in approximately 60AD the Romans built a magnificent temple and bathing complex around Britain's only hot spring that still flows with natural hot water. Nowadays you can't bathe in the water here but you can still see the water's source and the roman ruins of the temple which was once the hub of everyday life. The museum has an interactive element with roman costumed characters and the chance to try a glass of the spa water. The present Bath Abbey was built in 1499 and is considered to be the last of the great medieval churches of England. And it is easy to see how it got that title. The spectacular stained glass windows and honey coloured stone rise majestically above the city whilst the real unique feature of the abbey is the Ladder of Angels; a façade of ascending and descending angels. 5.00pm After the tour, your driver-guide will transfer you back to the hotel (approx. 1 hour 10 mins) to enjoy the balance of the afternoon at leisure. O/N at Barnsley House The Cotswolds Sample Itinerary 6 2017 Day by day itinerary Day 4 Full day touring quaint Cotswold villages 9.00am This morning, your private driver-guide will meet you at the hotel to set off on your full day touring some of Cotswolds most picturesque villages. Visit Chipping Campden Frequently described as the "jewel in the crown" of Cotswold towns, Chipping Campden is also one of the best preserved and most historically important. The High Street is lined with a range of wonderful and intriguing shops. In the town centre is the Market hall built in 1627 for the sale of butter, cheese and poultry. Visit Stow-on-the-Wold Stow-on-the-Wold is a small market town and civil parish in Gloucestershire. Stow is an important shopping centre and has many fine Antique shops, Art galleries, Gifts and Crafts and is a centre for Walking the Cotswolds countryside. 1.30pm Lunch at leisure at the Wild Rabbit Inn Set in the heart of the Cotswolds, The Wild Rabbit is a re-invention of the traditional English Inn, They serve locally sourced, seasonal food in a relaxed and welcoming setting. Visit to Bourton-on-the-Water Probably the most popular village in the Cotswolds, and often referred to as the "Venice of the Cotswolds" because the River Windrush runs right through the centre. The combination of this clear sparkling water and the attractive low bridges crossing it create a charming scene. 5.00pm At the end of the afternoon your driver-guide will transfer you back to the hotel (approx. 20 mins) to enjoy the balance of the afternoon at leisure. O/N at Barnsley House The Cotswolds Sample Itinerary 7 2017 Day by day itinerary Day 5 Cookery Class in the UK’s Best Cookery School - Daylesford followed by visit to Sezincote House and Gardens 9.00am This morning, your private driver-guide will meet you at the hotel and transfer you to Daylesford Organic Farm and Cookery School (approx.

    Case Study #. Evenlode Catchment Project

    Case study #. Evenlode Catchment Project Authors: Jo Old and David McKnight Main drivers: Flood risk (small rural communities), rural diffuse pollution (Water Framework Directive water quality failures) and habitat (Water Framework Directive fish failures) Project stage: Year 1 of a 5-year (2016 to 2021) Natural Flood Management project; first cycle of consultation and design for tributary interventions completed, with construction planned in 2017 Photo1&2: Natural Flood Management at Honeydale Farm and a woody dam in the Littlestock Brook Project summary: The River Evenlode, a headwater tributary in the Thames Basin (Map 1), is a flashy clay catchment with several small rural towns and villages prone to flooding. The Environment Agency is working with the Evenlode Catchment Partnership and local communities to develop and coordinate a 5-year project that integrates Water Framework Directive (WFD) objectives with a Natural Flood Management (NFM) demonstration scheme. The natural solutions to manage floodwaters often require land management changes to slow and store run-off, which can have multiple benefits for water quality and habitat creation, and drive improvements in agricultural land management. In Year 1 of the project, a tributary catchment (16.3km2) trial in Littlestock Brook was set up with key landowners and the Parish Council. Opportunity mapping, site walkovers and modelling are being used to plan and implement a suite of NFM/WFD measures such as creating temporary water retention ponds in field corners, constructing bunds and scrapes to store more floodwater on grassland areas, installing woody material in-channel to create leaky dams, and land management changes including planting woodland in flood source areas and along flood pathways.

  • Working Together to Improve the River Evenlode, by Helena Soteriou

    Working Together to Improve the River Evenlode, by Helena Soteriou

    Working together to improve the River Evenlode, by Helena Soteriou, Catchment Initiatives Programme Manager, Thames Water Managing the water cycle in England and Wales is a responsibility divided amongst many organisations, all with different regulatory systems, funding mechanisms and timeframes. But there are also thousands more community groups and businesses that depend on, benefit from, and interact with water on a daily basis. This can create a somewhat disjointed approach to how we take care of our rivers, making it much harder to maximise the value of the work we do individually. To overcome these hurdles, we must work together. Knowledge exchange event on soil health, FarmEd, Shipton under Wychwood Thames Water has set out an ambitious approach on how it wants to protect and enhance river catchments across its region. Called the ‘smarter water catchments’ initiative, it looks at the environment as a ‘system’ and involves organisations setting a vision and working in partnership. This project aims to make bigger and better improvements to our rivers than we could make as individual groups and organisations. More specifically, it involves the creation of a truly collaborative 10-year plan that will address multiple challenges, such as climate change, and co-deliver innovative solutions that make the most of opportunities on an even bigger scale. The River Evenlode catchment is one of the first areas to have co-developed a Smarter Water Catchment Plan. The catchment is home to some of the finest landscape in the country, several market towns, and unique habitats such as limestone grassland, which support a wide range of wildlife.

These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which East follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. Yorkshire & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform West their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for.
