Welcome to Hidden Cotswold Tours
I am Peter Edwards-Moss of Hidden Cotswold Tours.
Let me take you and up to five others in your family or group on an unforgettable journey through the beautiful Cotswolds.
We’re incredibly lucky to live in such a unique part of the world and I love to show it off to all my guests.
The Cotswolds are overflowing with history—from the Romans to the English Civil War and beyond. They have all left their mark on the churches, the historic buildings and the very landscape itself.
If shopping is more your thing, you’ll love the historic market towns, filled with independent shops, art galleries, cosy cafés, and traditional tea rooms.
Every tour I offer is tailored just for you. I’ll create an itinerary that blends history, scenery, and local charm—giving you time to enjoy what you love, at your own pace.
Some of the most memorable moments happen between the towns, with peaceful stops to take in sweeping views or simply enjoy the quiet beauty of a favourite hidden spot.

A typical tour lasts between 6 and 8 hours.
For simplicity, I have split my tours into manageble areas.
The North Cotswolds and the Central and Southern Cotswolds.
However, it is easy to design a tour which takes in parts of both. Just contact me and I will create a personalised itinerary.
If you are not sure what you want, let me take you on a ‘Classic Tour’ which is one that takes in all the villages you must see on a day out in the Cotswolds.
We will chat before and during your tour and can adapt as we go along.
A tour of the North Cotswolds will include the many historic towns and villages such as Chipping Campden and Broadway. Read More…
Touring this part of the Cotswolds can take in villages such as the ever-popular Bibury and the ancient wool-town of Painswick. Read More…
A bespoke tour would include the must-see places but focusing on your interests such as spending time visiting a castle or wandering around a beautiful garden. Read More…
Walking through the Cotswolds has to be one of the best ways to experience this area. Read More…

Peter was the perfect tour guy. The day was magical from the beginning to end! Simply the BEST!
Nothing was too much trouble and the whole experience was something we will talk about for many years to come. The rating of excellent does not seem high enough. Thanks so much Peter.
All in all, a car and Google maps can show you the sights, but it was his insights that made a huge difference. Highly recommend Peter!
