Since it is only four minutes away
Lower Slaughter is one of the most picture-perfect places in the Cotswolds
This is an ideal destination for a romantic retreat or a getaway from the hustle and bustle of big cities
The main attraction here is this Old Mill at the western end of the village
we are now in Lower Slaughter and we're gonna walk to Upper Slaughter. it should be around a mile
this was voted one of the most romantic walks in the UK. you can just follow the river to get to the next stop
you can cycle or drive to Upper Slaughter
but walking is highly recommended since the path is very beautiful
this village is one of the less-visited that's why it's really
calm and it's good to be calm and in a calm and peaceful place and the scenery here is perfect

which makes it more calm and peaceful. This village is also known as a Doubly Thankful Village because of

for more than a century since there hasn't been any new building construction since 1906.

some people believe this is the prettiest village in the whole of the UK. strolling through the village is like stepping back in time.
This fairytale village is located just over 10 miles north of Bath and 100 miles away from London

if you don’t have enough time to explore other parts of the Cotswolds
Next stop is Stow-on-the-Wold, a lovely old market town
if you like shopping you must have a stop here
Stow-on-the-Wold is the highest point in the whole area of the Cotswolds

when he was living around here

the Venice of the Cotswolds because of its low villages across the River Windrush
here is actually one of the most popular villages in the Cotswolds
and actually today we came earlier but we couldn't find the parking spot

not as busy as it was. If you want to check this village out make sure to come here early in the morning
