Upper and Lower Slaughter — two of the prettiest, quietest villages in England: honey stone, a clear stream, and almost nothing to do, gloriously.
The Slaughters are what people mean when they say 'the Cotswolds': unspoilt, unhurried, and unfairly beautiful. Perfect for a restorative season.
The Slaughters Manor House and Lords of the Manor, for a proper dinner.
The bar at Lords of the Manor; the pubs of nearby Bourton and Stow.
The Warden's Way between the two Slaughters and on to Bourton — a classic, level stroll.
The Old Mill museum in Lower Slaughter, and the wider Windrush valley.
The Slaughters Manor House and Lords of the Manor, both country-house hotels.
Village primaries in the surrounding parishes; private options around Cheltenham and Oxford.
A short drive from Stow-on-the-Wold; Kingham or Moreton stations.
