Your host for the day.

Why these routes

All three days are built out of a quarter of a century of living here rather than out of a list of the region’s greatest hits. That shows up in small decisions: reaching Castle Combe before the coaches, putting a working market town next to a famous village, using the lanes between stops as part of the day rather than as transit.

The Cotswold Edge, in particular, covers ground within a few miles of Frazer’s front door. Coaley Peak, Uley Bury and the valleys around Nailsworth are the places he would take a friend who was visiting for the first time.

Being straight about experience

Frazer has lived locally for more than 25 years. That is residency and local knowledge, not 25 years of working as a professional guide, and we would rather say so plainly than let a number do work it has not earned.

What you get is one person who drives, hosts and knows the ground, rather than a rota of drivers and a script.
