This is a tranquil and often overlooked village in the southern Cotswolds, offering a glimpse into a simpler, quieter way of life.

It’s primarily a collection of traditional stone homes and farms set within a deep, wooded valley, providing a genuine sense of peace away from busier routes. The main point of interest is the beautiful St. Nicholas Church, which boasts a very unusual round tower. This distinctive feature dates back to its Norman origins and is a rare sight in this part of England, making it particularly special to explore.

Visitors typically come here to enjoy the serene atmosphere, take leisurely walks along the public footpaths that criss-cross the surrounding rolling hills and valleys, and appreciate the classic Cotswold architecture. There are no shops or pubs directly within the village itself, so it’s a place for quiet contemplation and reconnecting with nature. It's an ideal spot if you're seeking true rural escapism. You'll find it close to other small settlements like Boxwell, Tresham, Bagpath, Newington, Lasborough, and Leighterton, all sharing the same gentle beauty of the region.
