Amazon has announced big changes to The Grand Tour, which is no longer going on tour.

The show travelled to nine countries in its first series with a huge white tent in tow - but now, that tent will stay put in the UK.

Amazon said it was because of the "sore joints, struggling lungs, and combined age of 158" of hosts Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond.

Richard Hammond escaped death in a car crash (again) when filming this year.

The show will now be based on a millionaire's estate in the Cotswolds - the same place Wilderness Festival takes place.

It's 10 miles from Jeremy Clarkson's country home, Diddly Squat Farm, meaning an easy commute him every morning.

The new filming base is also 43 miles from The Grand Tour's test track at RAF Wroughton in Wiltshire.

However, the three main hosts will still travel.

Season two locations include Croatia, Mozambique, Dubai, Spain, Switzerland, Colorado and New York.

Filming will take place over 10 days between 25 October and 19 December.

The change comes after Richard Hammond escaped death (again) when his car crashed and burst into flames while filming series one and Jeremy Clarkson went to hospital with pneumonia.

Andy Wilman, executive producer of The Grand Tour, said: "We'll keep the studio in one place, and given how accident-prone they are at the minute, that can only be a good thing."

Amazon wants fans to apply for tickets to attend filming in the Cotswolds.
