There are a multitude of charming honeycoloured stone villages and market towns that abound in the unspoilt Cotswolds:

Such as BURFORD, BOURTON-ON-THE-WATER,  UPPER and LOWER SLAUGHTER, and BIBURY. You will be spoilt for choice.

Each village offers a picturesque setting with historic churches, welcoming Inns and Pubs and a variety of attractions.

BURFORD is known as “The gateway to the Cotswolds” and is found at the Eastern boundary of the Cotswolds. Whereas, STOW-ON-THE-WOLD is located beside the Roman Fosse Way and is where the last battle of the civil war was fought in 1646. Both are a must for antique collectors and should not be missed.

Visit Historic and interesting places such as BLENHEIM PALACE,  the gift from Queen Anne to John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough after his historic victory at Blenheim in 1704. SULGRAVE MANOR is the home of George Washington’s ancestors. CHEDWORTH is a Romano-British Villa set in an Idyllic setting.
