On Day 2 I explored 5 beautiful villages and walked through the stunning surrounding landscape. On Day 3 I travelled to Cirencester, which was an important Roman settlement. From there I set out to find the start of The Thames! When planning this trip, I decided to spend a bit more time travelling to save money. Train travel can be expensive, but there are ways of making it cheaper. Some lines have fares that do not change, but other train operators offer discounts for travelling off peak, or on non direct trains. It may mean you will have to change down the line and wait at a small station, but this did save me £20 on a single journey. When I arrived to The Cotswolds I bought a 3 day bus/train pass which I used from Oxford. This cost me £25, which was great value. However do not expect regular buses and in some cases there are only 1 or 2 buses running to a particular village a day. Over the 3 days this pass saved me about £30. On Day 1, I got 2 buses and 1 coach, 2 tubes, 3 trains and a lift in a car from the campsite owner! This cost me £26 (+£25 3 day Cotswolds pass), which was less than 1 high speed train I could have booked from Canterbury to London! This shows that spending a bit of time researching the options, can save you money. I stayed at Far Peak Camping www.farpeakcamping.co.uk The campsite is about 1 mile South West of Northleach village, so be prepared to walk if you do not have a car as there are few taxis in the area. It is a scenic walk! I hope you enjoyed this video, please Subscribe if you did and watch Day 2 and Day 3 when I upload them in a 1 week!
