Simon Parker, British travel journalist, takes a three-day journey from London into the Cotswolds—arriving by train, winding through villages by bus, pedalling quiet lanes, and walking ancient footpaths. With each change of pace, the landscape reveals itself in new ways, proving that the richest travel comes when you tread lightly, wander kindly and leave only stories. @simonwparker @GWRUK @StagecoachBus @blenheimpalace @TreeDwellersCornbury
