Day 32

A beautiful day rambling and road tripping around the Cotswolds. After a lovely walk exploring the gorgeous wee shops here in Broadway we meandered down some back roads and then onto a track on the Cotswolds Way ( walking tracks through farm land and bush which are completely accessible to the public) we ended up amongst some stunning country homes and estates just outside of Broadway. On our return we stopped at at very cute tearooms for ham and cheese sandwiches. We then carried on by car. We headed to Blockley, Stow-on-the-Wold and finally Bourton-on-the-Water. All three villages were just beautiful but the third one, which has a lovely shallow river running through it was very busy. Parking in all of these places requires using car parks and then wandering down into the main village. The villages are full of tearooms, ice cream shops, pubs and local food and crafts. We took so many photos as there were so many picturesque scenes. On our return to Broadway we relaxed before heading out for one of the best meals we have had at The Swan Hotel. The weather continues to be very warm with 30 degrees all afternoon and into the evening.Read more
