Tips from the Community
In the middle of a small green area within the village, a cross rises atop a tall stone shaft. However, as hikers notice upon approach, this is by no means a small sacred monument in the sense of the wayside crosses common in some regions. Rather, this monument, like those found in many villages, is dedicated to the memory of the victims of war and tyranny.

Built between 1607 and 1612, Chastleton House tells an enchanting story. Originally owned by rich wool merchant Walter Jones, the house became the scene of a drug dupe during the Civil War in a bid to save the owners life. Today, the property is owned by National Trust. Visitors can learn about the fascinating history for themselves from 1pm - 5pm Wednesday to Sunday.

The ford on the River Windrush is found at the bottom of a steep lane at the northern edge of the village. It's a pretty little place and ideal for a sit down and picnic.

Famous for its honey-coloured traditional Cotswold stone buildings, Bourton-on-the-Water is often referred to as the 'Venice of the Cotswolds'. The River Windrush runs through the middle of the town with five stone bridges crossing it. The bridges were built between 1654 and 1911.

Another beauty, Moreton-In-Marsh. Can get busy on the weekend. Mind the traffic and tourists in rental car making unexpected moves.
