If you dream of a cozy and relaxing vacation with your loved one, then you will definitely like the "Venice of the Cotswolds" - the charming village of Bourton-on-the-Water. LeaseCar.uk experts have recognized it as one of the most romantic places for road trips in the UK.

The 45-mile route from Broadway runs through hills covered with emerald greenery and cozy villages with honey-colored houses. According to the Express, this area is an ideal place for picnics and long walks.

A majestic palace, typical Cotswold countryside, and calm water are just some of the region's charms.

"It's often called the Venice of the Cotswolds because of its cozy atmosphere and picturesque views, and it's a popular destination for couples from all over the UK who come here after getting off the A429. You can enjoy a picnic on the riverbank or have a coffee in a local cafe for a relaxing afternoon drive," says LeaseCar.

Cotswold Perfumery gives tourists the opportunity to create their own fragrant love potion, and an exhibition of model railroads with tiny trains running past mountains, streams, and factories will allow you to spend time interestingly and usefully.

You can enjoy the picturesque views of Bourton-on-the-Water, which is not without reason called the "Venice of the Cotswolds," from the riverbank. This is where most romantic lunches by the water take place.

We recommend continuing the journey to the village of Castle Combe, known for its picturesque houses and quaint streets, and ending the romantic adventure in Chalford.
