This small hamlet sits on the border between Gloucestershire and Worcestershire, about eight miles east of Evesham, offering a genuinely quiet corner of the Cotswolds with a population of around a hundred residents.
You're stepping into properly rural territory here, which is part of its appeal.
The main landmark is St Andrew's Church, built in 1797 by Thomas Johnson, a Warwick-based builder. If you're interested in late Georgian church architecture, it's worth visiting—the building itself reflects a time when the area still had enough economic vitality to fund new construction.
The hamlet has Tudor connections worth knowing about. Christopher Savage, an Esquire of the Body of King Henry VIII, held the manor from 1521 after inheriting it through his mother's family. His father was killed at the Battle of Flodden in 1513, which adds real historical weight to what might otherwise seem like just another quiet English corner.
The real draw for most visitors is the walking and landscape exploration. Dover's Hill sits just a mile south, famous for Robert Dover's Games and offering sweeping views across the valleys. The hamlet works well as a peaceful base for rambling through the surrounding countryside, or as a stopping point when you're moving between larger Cotswolds villages like Weston-sub-Edge and places further afield.
