• Burford - The renowned High Street of Burford gracefully descends towards the River Windrush, featuring a medieval bridge with three arches and a remarkable church. Both sides of the street are lined with a continuous row of historic houses and shops.

Over the years, Burford has retained its charm, attracting visitors for its scenic beauty, rich history, and shopping opportunities, particularly antiques. The town offers a diverse selection of dining options, including restaurants, pubs, and teashops. Guests can stay in a hotel once visited by King Charles and Nell Gwynn, dine where Nelson once dined, or explore England’s oldest pharmacy, operating as a chemist since 1734.

• Bourton-on-the-Water - Bourton-on-the-Water is a favored spot, with the gently flowing River Windrush running through the village center, crossed by charming little bridges. However, it can become quite crowded, especially on weekends and Bank Holidays during the summer. To experience the village at its finest, it is recommended to visit during off-peak times, as the village retains its charm year-round. Staying overnight is ideal, allowing visitors to enjoy the village in the evening after day-trippers have departed.

• Lower Slaughter - Upper and Lower Slaughter, with their slightly ominous name derived from Old English meaning ‘muddy place,’ are connected by the small River Eye, a tributary of the River Windrush.

Strolling along the stream in Lower Slaughter feels like a privilege, as it is a residential area. The Lower Slaughter Mill & café is a must-visit, with a mill recorded here in the Domesday Book of 1086.

• Snowshill - Snowshill is beautifully situated with the Cotswold hills rising steeply around the village on three sides, known for its exceptional unspoiled beauty and views over the Severn Vale to the west. An ancient road, Buckle Street, crosses the parish, and Snowshill Manor, owned by the National Trust, is a stunning building with picturesque gardens and the fascinating and diverse collections of Sir Charles Wade, including toys, musical instruments, clocks, bicycles, samurai armor, and more. The delightful cottage garden is a vibrant mix of architectural features, bright colors, and enchanting scents.

• Broadway Tower - Broadway Tower is an 18th-century structure near the village of Broadway in Worcestershire, England. It is a Grade II listed building, constructed of limestone ashlar, standing four storeys high, hexagonal in shape, with three round corner turrets, battlements, and gargoyles.

• Broadway - Broadway is a sizable village and civil parish in the Cotswolds, England, with a population of 2,540 as of the 2011 census. Located in the far southeast of Worcestershire, near the Gloucestershire border, it is midway between Evesham and Moreton-in-Marsh. It is often called the “Jewel of the Cotswolds.”

• Chipping Campden - Chipping Campden is one of the Cotswolds’ treasures, being one of the best-preserved and most historically significant towns in the area. A planned town from the late 12th century, its original layout is still visible along the High Street, following an important trading route. The ancient term ‘chipping’ refers to the market, with the existing Market Hall built in 1627 by Sir Baptist Hicks for selling cheese, butter, and poultry.
