Yanınızda getirmeniz gerekenler
Bring layers of clothing
The British weather is notoriously unpredictable so pack light weight cardigans and waterproof jackets that can be added and/or removed with the change in weather. Winter is cold and wet so bring waterproof boots. Summer can be very warm but can also be cool and rainy so flexible clothing is advised.

Hire a car to explore the Cotswolds
Public transport can be slow, especially when you want to explore the less popular but equally as beautiful villages. Hiring a car is a convenient way to explore the area.
