England 2026
Town & Country Active
“The Best of Town and Country” has been a Walkabout favorite for several years. While we’ve kept some of the best parts of this trip, much has changed. This year, we will experience a much different side of the country as we get out “walking,” just like the British do. We’ll start with three nights in London at the gorgeous Number Sixteen Hotel, then transfer to the Cotswolds where we will enjoy the comfort and relaxing atmosphere of the Woodchester Valley Vineyard. Two to three days of hiking in the Cotswolds will be a true highlight. Bring your hiking boots for this one!
May 12-19, 2026
London
Our trip begins with three nights in the heart of London at the luxurious, 5-star Number Sixteen Hotel in South Kensington. We will explore the city together, taking a walking tour of Westminster. We’ll visit Hampton Court, the home of Henry VIII, and also have plenty of free time to take in a show, visit a museum, or do some shopping. Put your walking shoes on for three fun-filled days in The Big Smoke.
The Cotswolds
We’ll start in Oxford where we will pick up our transportation for the rest of the week. From there, we’ll drive to the Cotswolds, where we’ll enjoy four nights at Woodchester Valley Vineyard. This beautiful setting will allow plenty of time for rest and reflection at one of England’s award-winning vineyards. The house here is gorgeous with lots of room to spread out and views to die for.
Each day we’ll get out in nature and experience a very British activity: walking. (We call it hiking.) We will see some of the most beautiful parts of the country in a way many don’t get to—by foot. And we’ll stroll through some of the Cotswolds quaint villages, enjoying fabulous meals in historic settings. At the end of the week, you’ll have an opportunity to extend your trip further afield or head home from London.
