Get in

If you're planning on visiting Stroud, Stonehouse, Gloucester, or Cheltenham in England, you're in luck! All of these towns have train stations, making it easy to explore the beautiful countryside of the Cotswolds. But if you're looking for a more budget-friendly option, Stagecoach buses are a cheaper alternative, although they might take a bit longer than the trains. Just like in other parts of Great Britain, public transport can be quite pricey compared to other parts of the world. However, if you're under 25, you have the option of purchasing a Young Person's Railcard, which gives you a 1/3 discount on standard rail fares. Keep in mind that this card does cost £25, so it may only be worth it if you're planning on spending an extended period of time in the UK. You can purchase railcards at any train station ticket office, and don't forget to bring a passport photo and proof of your age to get yours!

Popular Foods

The first most popular food in the United Kingdom is Fish and Chips. This classic dish consists of battered and fried fish, typically cod or haddock, served with hot, crispy French fries. The fish is coated in a light, crunchy batter that contrasts with the tender, flaky fish inside. It's often accompanied by a side of mushy peas or tartar sauce for added flavor.

The second most popular food in the United Kingdom is Full English Breakfast. This hearty meal is typically enjoyed on weekends and includes bacon, sausages, eggs (often scrambled or fried), black pudding, grilled tomatoes, mushrooms, baked beans, and toast or fried bread. Sometimes, it can also include kippers (smoked herring) or haggis (a Scottish specialty made of sheep's heart, liver, and lungs).

The third most popular food in the United Kingdom is Shepherd's Pie. This traditional comfort food is made with minced lamb (or beef) mixed with onions, carrots, and sometimes celery, forming a savory meat mixture. This mixture is then topped with a layer of mashed potatoes and baked until the potato is golden brown. Some recipes may also include a layer of cheese or breadcrumbs on top for added flavor and texture.
