  Earl Shilton

  Shilton is my favourite village… nestled in The Shill valley a place that exudes the quintessential Cotswold character , ambiance and class. Shilton's close relationship with the Cotswolds is undeniable. Its traditional architecture, featuring honey-colored Cotswold stone, and the surrounding rolling hills paint a picture of classic English countryside. The Shill Brook flows through the village into a clear pool used by children and dogs in hot summer days! The area surrounding Shilton is one of natural beauty, and historical significance.

  Bibury is a charming, typically Cotswold village. With its stone buildings strung out along the banks of the River Coln, it's easy to see why Artist William Morris called it 'The most beautiful village in England'. We walk gently through Arlington Row cottages which we’re originally built in the 14th century as a monastic wool store. It was later converted in the 17th century into a row of weavers' cottages and round a Trout farm and gardens.
