Mt Vernon

It’s a small, unassuming hamlet, characterised by a scattering of traditional stone properties that blend into the surrounding hillsides and verdant woodlands. You won't find major attractions or bustling shops here; its charm lies in its peaceful atmosphere and the feeling of being truly immersed in the local countryside.

For visitors, it’s a wonderful place to simply slow down. You can enjoy gentle strolls along its lanes, appreciate the local architecture, and use it as a tranquil base for exploring. There are plenty of opportunities for walks directly from the hamlet, leading you into the network of footpaths that criss-cross the valleys and climb to nearby common lands. If you’re looking for more amenities, a wider range of services, or places to eat, the neighbouring communities of Butterow, Thrupp, and North Woodchester are all close by. You’ll also find Rodborough, Lightpill, and Houndscroft easily accessible for further exploration of this unique valley region.
