Lower Wadswick

The Romans understood the exceptional quality of the local limestone, and from then on, Box quarries became famous for supplying some of England's finest building stone. Today this hamlet exists within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, offering you a chance to experience the Cotswolds' landscape and heritage without the crowds you'd find elsewhere. The wider parish contains several villages and settlements, each with distinct appeal if you want to venture beyond the hamlet itself. The area works well whether you're interested in the geological history that shaped it or you simply want a tranquil spot away from the main tourist routes. A leisurely visit here rewards that kind of unhurried exploration.
