Stopped off at Stow-on-the-Wold and Moreton-in-the-Marsh.
Stow-on-the-Wold
Moreton-in-the-Marsh.
From the number of cars you can tell they are both popular. Both though have shops of real life. Moreton feels like a proper small town. Then on to ....
Chastleton. It has been in the care of the National Trust since 1991 and was owned by the same family since being built. Looks like they did little to it. Interesting though.
The House and church through the trees.
The House!
Some wild flowers in the garden. Think the first is Snakesehad Fritillary. There was an article about that in the paper the day before.
Stopped off at the very pretty village of Lower Slaughter, best kept village 2005, double yellow lines everywhere. Hotels very pricey. Fillet Steak burger and chips £18 where's Dave?
Evening stroll through up lots of Blackcap and a Goldcrest to finish on 63. Not bad for strolls around the village and National Trust Gardens.

Thank you for a wonderful trip down memory lane. I grew up in that part of the country, and it was lovely to see Moreton. I have always loved the town, even though it is pretty, it feels like a 'real town'. They used to have a great market too, is that still running?
And Lower Slaughter . . . I now live in Yorkshire, and have a hard time convincing anyone that it is a real place LOL Imagine the looks I get when I tell them about Wyre Piddle
Hi Kate
yes the market still runs. My father would have loved to have visited that day. He loves markets!!
As you know there's also an Upper Slaughter!
