It is a one hour journey so you should arrive approximately 13.30 for lunch and free time to explore Cheltenham. It's known for Regency buildings, including the Pittville Pump Room, a remnant of Cheltenham’s past as a spa town.
Day 4 – Thursday
Depart from the hotel for a scenic cross-country ride to Stratford on Avon where you are booked onto a River Avon Cruise departing at 11 a.m. Time for lunch and an explore of this pretty town, on the river, enjoying the history of the town until you head home to your hotel.
Day 5 – Friday
After breakfast and loading the luggage on the coach, it would be nice to spend the morning in Leamington which is a lovely town with broad walkways, pretty gardens and unusual shops. Liaise with your driver regarding time of departure to head directly home with a comfort stop en route.
