Cotswolds Lord of the Rings Tour 10 hr

Trace the landscapes and legends that connect the Cotswolds with J. R. R. Tolkien on a private 10-hour journey through honey-colored villages, rolling hills, and ancient stone circles. Your local guide brings the region’s stories to life as you visit places believed to have inspired scenes and landmarks from Middle-earth.

Look for a remarkable Hobbit-like doorway said to have inspired the Doors of Durin, then climb to a hilltop folly reminiscent of Amon Hen. Step inside the historic Bell Inn, long associated with Bree’s Prancing Pony, and pause at the Four Shire Stone, thought to echo the Three-Farthings Stone. At the Rollright Stones, weathered megaliths rise from the landscape with an atmosphere worthy of Tolkien’s writing.

Travel between stops in a private, air-conditioned Mercedes equipped with Wi-Fi. The knowledgeable guide can tailor the day in advance or along the way, and child seats are available with advance notice. Bottled water and umbrellas are provided; meals and other drinks are not included. Set out to discover the Cotswolds through the stories that make this countryside feel like another world.
