The famed Arlington Row built in 1380...... i must admit i'd hate to live there with tourists pointing cameras at you....
Lodge Park is just up to the road it was built as a bandstand to watch deer coursing. In the 19th century Lodge Park was modified into a house, then a row of cottages, and then into a house again. It was bequeathed to the National Trust in 1982, and restored to its original form as a grandstand.
Also nearby is Chedworth Roman Villa with its very fine mosaics... there was an exhibition of a gladiatorial nature.
And finally Lower Slaughter which I always enjoy a walk around.
Now I assumed this was one family and later was worried that mum and 5 of the youngsters had gone over small weir leaving 3 behind..... I was relieved (yes I am soppy) when another flew in and was obviously their Mum
And when they came to the weir I waited to see they were safe ;)

A lovely day out by the looks of it :) The amount of tourists teeming round villages is the one thing I don't like about the Cotswolds. I couldn't believe the amount of selfie sticks people from abroad were carrying and waving around when we went to Blenheim Palace :(
I do love Bibury and the Slaughters - so very picturesque. Lower Slaughter was the last place where I saw a Water Vole!
ps Glad to read all was well with the ducklings :)
