If you're looking for a quieter corner of the Cotswolds, this tiny Gloucestershire village offers a real sense of stepping back in time.

It’s a wonderful spot for a leisurely stroll, where you can admire the honey-coloured stone cottages that line its peaceful lanes. The true highlight is St Mary's Church, a beautiful 13th-century building with an imposing tower that stands proudly at the heart of the community. Take a moment to appreciate its historic architecture, which includes some lovely medieval details and gives you a glimpse into centuries past. Just beyond the church, you'll glimpse Icomb Place, a magnificent medieval manor house with roots stretching back to the 12th century. While it's a private residence, its grand presence adds significantly to the village's character, hinting at centuries of stories, including connections to the Wars of the Roses. This isn't a place with bustling shops or pubs; its charm lies purely in its tranquility and historic beauty, making it perfect for an escape from busier areas. Come here to enjoy the quiet, explore the church if it’s open, and take a walk along the local footpaths. For refreshments or more amenities, you'll find options a short drive away in places like Westcote, Wyck Rissington, Nether Westcote, or Upper Rissington.
