GWR says the Cotswolds have direct connections from London Paddington; check its train times for your date. The Cotswolds Tourism Partnership says the Pulhams 801 leaves from outside Moreton-in-Marsh station, takes about 20 minutes to Stow-on-the-Wold and about 30 minutes to Bourton-on-the-Water, and runs hourly Monday to Saturday and every two hours on Sundays. GWR lists Moreton-in-Marsh as step-free (category B2, platform 2 by a ramped bridge). The villages are spread out, so pick one or two. Prices and times change: check before you go, on National Rail.

出发前须知

The Cotswolds is about 121 km (75 miles) from central London in a straight line, measured from Charing Cross; the rail route is longer. Trains leave from London Paddington. Our rail tickets guide explains Advance, Off-Peak and Anytime tickets, railcards and split tickets, so you can work out which fare suits a day out. On the day, check National Rail for delays and engineering works before you set off.

Opening times, tickets and closures for Cotswolds: by train and bus are on its official website. For sights that can need a timed ticket, see what to book ahead.
