Overnight in a Cotswolds village.

Travel through the delightful Cotswolds region of stone villages, Tolkein's inspiration for the 'The Shire' in the Hobbit. Visit a magical stone circle and hear the legend of the Witch, King and Fairies who live underground. Meet Harry's feathered friends at a flying display of birds of prey. Take a 'Hogwarts Express' style steam train through the countryside to Cheltenham. Last visit of the day is the Old City of Gloucester, immortalised by Beatrix Potter in 'The Tailor of Gloucester', visit the cathedral and follow a Harry Potter trail around its cloisters. Overnight near Gloucester.

Venture into the Forest of Dean and the Wye Valley, well-known to J.K, Rowling. Maybe take a stroll into the forest looking for Fairies and Unicorns. Drive into Wales and hear stories of Dragons and Merlin the Magician, then explore the fairytale Chepstow Castle. At the mediaeval village of Lacock, used in the Harry Potter films, see the house where Harry's parents were murdered and the street used as 'Privet Drive'.
