Lower Slaughter is a small village on the River Eye, which runs through the middle of the village. There is a former watermill from the 19th century, which nowadays has a cozy café but also a "tourist trap" with clothing and fishing rods.

River Windrush Path, Bourton-on-the-Water

Highlight • Viewpoint

Delightful footpath along the River Windrush as you make your way into the Cotswolds village of Bourton-on-the-Water. The village is famous for its waterside scenery, often being referred to as the 'Venice of the Cotswolds'.

Bourton-on-the-Water village

Highlight • Viewpoint

An archetypal Cotswold village, Bourton-on-the-Water's mix of pretty cottages and honey-coloured brick houses give it an undeniable charm. Delightful arched bridges span the River Windrush, the small river responsible for giving Bourton its 'Venice of the Cotswolds' tag.

The ancient Roman road, the Fosse Way, travels through the village and it is also that start point for the Oxfordshire Way long-distance trail to Henley-on-Thames.

Green & Pleasant Tea Room, Bourton-on-the-Water

Highlight • Cafe

Lovely little tearoom in the heart of Bourton on the Water. Very busy on warm sunny days but worth it for the scones and cream tea. Ginger beer was a must on this particular day.

The Model Village, Bourton-on-the-Water

Highlight • Rest Area

The Model Village is a replica of the village - including the Model Village, of course. So Model Village in Model Village, again with Model Village, etc., etc. :)
