Lời khuyên du lịch trong thành phố

Những gì cần đóng gói

Bring layers of clothing

The British weather is notoriously unpredictable so pack light weight cardigans and waterproof jackets that can be added and/or removed with the change in weather. Winter is cold and wet so bring waterproof boots. Summer can be very warm but can also be cool and rainy so flexible clothing is advised.
Cách đi lại

Hire a car to explore the Cotswolds

Public transport can be slow, especially when you want to explore the less popular but equally as beautiful villages. Hiring a car is a convenient way to explore the area.
