On Saturday we criss-cross the vale, touch the edge of the Cotswolds and pass through picture-postcard country estates. We climb White Horse Hill, admire the spot where St George fought the dragon (so they say!), and cycle along the prehistoric Ridgeway to the megalithic long barrow of Wayland’s Smithy. On Sunday we travel half-forgotten lanes and pass through secluded villages. We follow the old wool-traders' routes through the valleys of the Thames and Windrush rivers. We stay at Charney Manor, a beautiful medieval house dating from the 13th century – one of the oldest inhabited houses in Britain. Accommodation is in twin and single en-suite bedrooms, either in the manor house itself or in the converted barn across the courtyard. Ace cooks provide delicious vegetarian cuisine. Home-grown organic fruit & veg, Fairtrade, and local produce are used whenever possible. You don't have to be a vegetarian to enjoy a beano, lots of non-veggies keep coming back because they like our food (meat and veggie meals are available at the lunch stops). Notes: Note: Price varies according to currency convertion.
