Fox Inn Broadwell

If your legs are tired out after all the trotting, many attractions and activities are a short car ride away too. Mosey to The Moreton Gallery (five minutes' drive) to admire the creative works of emerging artists, then take in some older curios at the Cotswold Motoring Museum & Toy Collection (10 minutes). Several stately manors are also scattered around this area: have a jaunt to the Jacobean Chastleton House (10 minutes), then bound around Bourton House Garden (10 minutes) with its manicured mini maze. If the kids aren’t keen on country homes but you’d still like to see at least one, compromise with a visit to the Cotswold Wildlife Park & Gardens, set in the grounds of a mansion. There are 260 species to glimpse here, from lemurs and monkeys to rhinos and lions, in 160 acres of land. A visit to Broadway Tower (15 minutes) is a terrific way to top off your trip to the Cotswolds before retreating back to the pub for yet more first-rate food. This folly on Broadway Hill is the area’s second-tallest spot at 1,024 feet above sea level, so the views are just smashing.
