Dealing with the Summer Crowds of The Cotswolds
Summer is the most popular time of year to visit The Cotswolds, with long days and warm evenings that make you feel truly alive in a part of England which looks like it should be on a postcard. The downside? Queue for lunch, traffic pacing down narrow lanes and full car parks. The secret is, you can have an informal day out with just a few things done differently.
Start early (or go later)
That makes all the difference sometimes - being there earlier than mid-morning. This results in easier parking, less crowded streets and better situated photo spots. But if mornings aren't your bag, flip the day on its head: lunch long and late followed by wandering around villages in the early evening when all the coachloads of day trippers have high-tailed it off.
Slow down; choose fewer place...
