Spring is one of the best times to go and visit the Cotswolds – the countryside looks stunning at this time of the year, and you can explore all the things that are going on in the area too. A professional tour with a company like this Cotswolds guided tours provider //cotswoldtour.co.uk/cotswolds-private-tours/classic-cotswolds-guided-tour/ is a great way to explore all that is happening in the area, whether you want family fun or peaceful and serene activities there is something for everyone.
One of the most well known and bizarre local events in the region is the annual cheese rolling at Coopers Hill in Gloucester. On the second May bank holiday Monday – this year falling on Monday 25th May – people come from far and wide to either participate or watch as people run down the steep hill to catch a wheel of cheese. This is a tradition that has been going for centuries.
For something more gentle and calm, this is the ideal time to explore the walking trails in the area. As bluebells carpet the woodland floors and the blossom is abundant on the trees, there is no better time to explore the beautiful ancient woodlands and commons that spread across the countryside.
If you are looking for family friendly activities there are many – from historical places like Sudeley castle which also holds events for kids in the school holidays, to places where you can enjoy nature like Slimbridge Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust.
