Cotswold Sheepdog Demonstration

We can now offer a rare and exclusive tailor-made experience with one of the finest shepherds and sheepdog handlers in the Cotswolds on his farm. We will whisk you away into the glorious Cotswold countryside via a scenic route, to the farm near the beautiful village of Guiting Power. You’ll get the opportunity to learn the skills of a shepherd, how the shepherd works his sheepdogs and the progressions from the young dogs to his competing dogs and watch over the dogs rounding up the sheep to then taking on a competition course.

Throughout this interactive experience you will be involved asking questions, petting the dogs, stroking the sheep the lot. Then, it is over to you as you have a chance to try your hand at working the dogs yourself and to be taught from one of the Cotswold’s best.

The experience will be around 1.5 hours depending on how much you wish to do and it is a really fun unique experience for all ages.

The rest of the day will be a Cotswold tour tailored around your interests in the area, we’ll have the chance to see the famous villages such as Bibury and Lower Slaughter, or we can take the off the beaten track roads and visit the fairy-tale villages tucked away in the Cotswold countryside, or perhaps you want to sit by a fire and enjoy a relaxing afternoon tea in a Manor.

We will show you the best thatched houses in the world or simply stop for a picnic overlooking the rolling hills. Using our local knowledge, we will give you a real taste of the Cotswolds away from the major tourist spots.
