Why This Tour Exists

​

Clarkson’s Farm has brought a lot of attention to this part of the Cotswolds. That’s a good thing — but it can mean a day visiting the main locations becomes rushed and crowded without careful planning.

 

I wanted to do it differently — something smaller and more personal.

A proper day out — built around the day, not just the stops.

​

This isn't a route you can find on a map. Local connections and farming roots mean access to places most visitors and other tour companies never see.​

 

I live in Chipping Norton. I’ve worked on farms here. These aren’t places I researched for a tour — they’re places I already spend time in. I know the people and the area.

​

It means you’re being hosted by someone who actually lives here.

 

The aim isn’t to rush from stop to stop.

​

It’s to spend the day properly — with time for conversation, humour, and the flexibility to do what we want.

 

Start the day as strangers, spend the day like a local, and leave as friends!

 

Groups are deliberately kept small.

I limit each day to a maximum of seven guests. That’s the point.

​

With seven people, conversations happen naturally and the day stays personal.

 

You’ll see the well-known locations connected to the programme.

​

You’ll also see parts of the area that don’t usually appear on an itinerary.

 

There are a few surprise stops along the way. I don’t advertise them in advance. Some places only work if they’re not broadcast everywhere.

 

A proper day in the Cotswolds, with good people.
