There are numerous visitor attractions throughout South Warwickshire and we include a copy of the What to Do and What to See in 2008/09 leaflet in the information pack that we provide with each car.

Driving Around South Warwickshire and The Cotswolds

For details of 4 short leisurely drives each taking approximately half a day see the Leisure Drives section.

South Warwickshire and The Cotswolds are excellent places for touring in a classic sports car.

For a longer more challenging drive of 120 miles see the Test Hills Run section. This describes the background to the run itself and John Macartney who set the route. Full details of this route are available (in return for a donation to the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association) from The Open Road when you collect the car.

Classic Car Venues

If you are interested in seeing more classic cars and not just driving for the day, there are three excellent motor museums within reasonable distance of us.
