This is one of the larger and most popular villages in the Cotswolds, known for its unique layout with the River Windrush flowing right through its heart.
You'll find numerous low, stone bridges spanning the clear waters, creating a very pleasant atmosphere as you wander along the banks. It’s a wonderful spot to spend a day, whether you’re simply enjoying a stroll, popping into the independent shops, or relaxing with a cream tea or pub lunch.
There’s plenty to keep you occupied beyond the riverside. You can step back in time at the Model Village, which is a detailed scale replica of the village itself, or explore classic vehicles at the Cotswold Motoring Museum. For nature lovers, Birdland Park and Gardens offers a chance to see various bird species. The architecture here showcases traditional Cotswold stone, reflecting centuries of local building heritage. It’s a lively place, especially during peak seasons, and acts as a great base for exploring the surrounding countryside. From here, you’re just a short distance from lovely places like Lower Slaughter, Little Rissington, and Wyck Rissington, along with the smaller hamlets of Bourton Chase, Slaughter Pike, and Clapton-on-the-Hill.
