Freedom Breaks offer a flexible way to enjoy some of Britain's most scenic areas.
Honey-coloured limestone gives the Cotswolds its distinctive appearance, visible everywhere in the buildings which blend with their surroundings. Bourton-on-the-Water, the ‘Venice of the Cotswolds’ as it’s often called, is a picturesque and popular village, and an ideal base to relax and unwind.

- Stow-on-the-Wold, one of the best known Cotswold towns, and known for its antique shops
