There's the Cotswolds trip everyone plans by default, and then there's this one.

We spent real time mapping this 5-day Cotswolds itinerary, spaced out enough to actually enjoy each stop, to get you past the Bibury photo queue.

Once you've seen Cotswolds done differently, going back to the standard route feels like a waste of a trip. Free to download, no catch, just don't leave it until the week before you fly.
