British Pullman luxury day trip from London to the Cotswolds

Illustration of Cotswolds Villages

Belmond runs Cotswolds Villages as a luxury day trip aboard the British Pullman, its restored Art Deco train, from London Victoria into Gloucestershire and the surrounding Cotswolds countryside. The outward journey includes a three-course brunch served in the carriage, with its original wood panelling and marquetry. Arriving around midday, a guided coach tour takes in the honey-stone Cotswolds villages, with free time built in for shopping and sightseeing before returning to the train. The journey back includes a champagne reception and a four-course dinner with a British cheeseboard. It suits travellers who want a single, all-inclusive day out combining classic rail travel with an English countryside excursion.
