The Lygon Arms has three acres of grounds, which include lawns, flower gardens, croquet, archery and floodlit tennis. With Stratford-upon-Avon to the north and Oxford to the south, the Cotswolds provide great opportunities for outdoor tours and activities. There are bicycles for hire locally and riding is a favourite pastime. There is also golf, carriage riding, clay pigeon shooting and trout fishing. Gliding and hot-air ballooning and helicopter rides can easily be arranged.
