Things to do within a days drive of the Cotswolds?

We are having three or four days in the Cotswolds and would love some suggestions as to what we can do that is interesting/worth seeing within a day or so drive away. We will have a hire car and have BandB passes so we can go whereever.

Well, Stratford-upon-Avon is definitely worth a trip, you can visit Shakespeare’s birth place, and other homes associated with him, a trip to the Globe theatre is a must, plus there is a great choice of restaurants. The scenery in the Costwolds is stunning, so I do recommend perhaps visiting the tourist information website (see below) for info on good walks, much of the character of the area is medieval, and arguably quaintly British! There are several national trust properties in the area too, (such as Baddesley Clinton manor house) which make a good day out for all ages.
And if you want some good shops the Birmingham Bull Ring shopping centre isn’t too far off!
Hope this helps, and that you have a great stay
