Christmas Light Trails in the Cotswolds
Light trails are one of the easiest festive wins: book a time slot, wrap up warm, then combine it with a cosy meal. They’re great for couples, families and groups.
Planning tips
- Book ahead for peak dates (weekends and school holidays).
- Arrive early for parking and to avoid last-minute stress.
- Dress warmer than you think—standing still in the evening gets cold.
Make it a full day
- Start with an indoor-friendly stop from Indoor Activities.
- Or do a short daytime walk from Easy Walks if the weather’s crisp.
Local tip
When you’ve picked your shortlist, check the map and cluster your day. The Cotswolds rewards slow travel — one area per day tends to feel better than racing around.
