🚗 Need a car for this road trip?
If you don’t have your own car, I’d really recommend renting one — it gives you the flexibility to stop at each waterfall and explore at your own pace.
I usually use DiscoverCars to compare prices and find the best deals across different rental companies.
👉 It’s really easy to use:
- Compare multiple providers in one place
- Cheaper than booking direct
- Free cancellation on most options
- Their 3rd party insurance is a lot cheaper
- They have a great customer service for claims (though I hope you won’t have to use it!

Hi. I lived in the cotswolds 86 years ago and can tell you many different places, my mum was actually born in the Manor at Maisy Hampton. This is still a very quaint village. also on the Calne road at Yatesbury hidden up a lane are the graves of 8 young men killed in battle. I now live in the North wish I could visit it i visited it up to 2 years ago my aunt lived in Siddington then. My cousins all have farms there and my Uncle sold some of his land for Concord.
