Stratford-upon-Avon Travel Forum

Hi to all,
I will be in Stratford mid May next year and am trying to organise an itinery for my UK holiday.

Can anyone tell me if I can get some sort of tour either day or overnight to the Cotswolds from Stratford? Also if I hired a car how far is it to places such as Broadway or Evesham and how long would a drive take?

One more thing.......Can I catch a train from Stratford to Scotland and if not which would be the nearest station?

Thanks in advance.........I'm in a bit of a pickle about how to best see the Cotswolds in 3 days.
Cheers..................Louise

Yes you can go from Stratford to Scotland, but it may not be direct or quick. I got the following schedules from Virgin
