Bourton also has the Dragonfly Maze. It’s a giant puzzle hidden in a hedgerow. Usually, you’re hunting for a golden dragonfly. But in December? It becomes a secret winter labyrinth.
They string glowing lanterns along the dead ends. Getting lost never felt so magical. You might bump into a confused, slightly drunk Santa trying to find his way out.
Pro tip: Wear sturdy shoes. The mud is real. But the joy of finding the center is worth a dirty boot.

The Motor Museum Gets Retro
Need a break from the twee? Hit the Cotswold Motor Museum. This place is a den of vintage petrol-head nostalgia. And at Christmas, they go full retro glitz.
They deck the old Morris Minors and Austin Healeys with tinsel and wreaths. It’s like Santa’s sleigh crashed into a 1960s car show. You’ll see a Postman Pat van wearing antlers.
It’s weird. It’s wonderful. It’s the perfect place to hide from the drizzle while eating a cheap mince pie.
