Tetbury Upton

The real architectural highlight here is Upton House, an elegant Neoclassical mansion built in 1752 that really showcases what the area has to offer. Beyond that, you've got rolling countryside and smaller hamlets scattered about that give you a genuine sense of what the Cotswolds felt like centuries ago. The parish also sits near Highgrove House, which adds another layer of historical interest to the area. Because it's modest in scale and genuinely rural in character, this is a wonderful choice if you're after countryside walks and want to experience real village life away from the busier bits of Tetbury itself. It's the kind of place where you can wander the lanes and actually feel disconnected from the modern world, which is exactly what a lot of people come to the Cotswolds to find.
