The Best Cotswolds Villages You Must Visit

A visit to the Cotswolds feels like travelling back in time – quaint villages with thatched cottages will capture your heart and countryside pubs will make you want to just move in straight away. After a road trip there earlier this month, I have compiled a list of the best Cotswolds villages you must visit!

The Cotswolds is wonderfully picturesque and this list could easily go on forever, but I have chosen my absolute favourites. You could easily spend two weeks or more visiting one beautiful village after another, but for a perfect few days in the region, these are my top recommendations. Here are the prettiest Cotswolds villages that you can’t miss:

South & Central Cotswolds

For our road trip, we actually began in Bristol since I was travelling from Cardiff, Christina from London and Alissa from Southampton. Since I lived in Bath for five years, I occasionally visited Bristol to visit friends and enjoy the excellent craft coffee scene. While Bristol is not within the Cotswolds, it does make an excellent start point for your journey, particularly since the airport is well served from many European destinations.

Stay at the amazing ‘The Old Bank’ apartment in St Phillips, Bristol – sleeps up to 4 people and is an incredible place to enjoy a night or two.

 

Castle Combe

Possibly the most well-known of all the Cotswolds villages is the small village of Castle Combe (pronounced “Kooom”, not like ‘comb’) in Wiltshire. The village dates back to around the 12th century and the 5-star Manor House Hotel dates all the way back to the 17th century. Due to its ‘old world’ appearance, the village has been used as a filming location for TV series such as Downton Abbey and Agatha Christie’s Poirot and for movies such as War Horse and Stardust.

Walking through the small village does indeed feel like you’ve been whisked back to a time long ago, particularly if you manage to go when there aren’t too many tourists around. I recommend parking just before the entrance to the Manor House and wandering your way on foot from there. If you walk fast, you could easily do a loop of the village in less than five minutes, but you definitely won’t want to as you’ll be stopping to take many photos!

As you walk through the village – across the iconic bridge over the By Brook (river), past the cottages that line the main street (helpfully named ‘The Street’), past the Old Rectory Tearoom, St Andrews Church and The Castle Inn – you will understand exactly why Castle Combe has often been named the ‘prettiest village in England’ and why it definitely makes my list of the best Cotswolds villages.

Lacock

While not technically in the Cotswolds proper, Lacock is a village not to be missed. If you are a fan of Harry Potter then you definitely must pay Lacock Abbey a visit on your Cotswolds road trip. We started our exploration of Lacock by walking through the village and settling ourselves comfortably at The George Inn for a few drinks. For those who enjoy real ales, this is a pub not to miss (also for the excellently named beers on tap, such as the Wadworth ‘Game of Stones’ Golden Ale) and if you’re there around lunch or dinner time then the meals looked wonderful.

After enjoying a quick refreshment at The George Inn, we returned to exploring the village. Don’t miss a visit to the Lacock Bakery (excellent sausage rolls and Bakewell tarts) and if you spot the ice cream van, get a cone of the ‘Lacock at War’ ice cream which uses a recipe from 1945.

One of the best Cotswolds villages to visit is Lacock - don't forget to try the delicious ice cream!

After you have had your fill of baked goods, ice cream and exploring the picturesque village, head over to Lacock Abbey. Lacock itself, including the abbey, is entirely owned by the National Trust and the village and the abbey have both been used as filming locations for many TV series and films, including Pride and Prejudice, Cranford, Downton Abbey, The Other Boleyn Girl and – of course – Harry Potter.

The cloisters of Lacock Abbey were used in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (if you know your Harry Potter, then this is the scene where Harry leaves Professor Lockhart’s room after detention and then hears the basilisk) and some scenes from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince were filmed inside the abbey.

Even though Lacock is *technically* not in the Cotswolds, you definitely can’t miss a visit to this pretty village if you’re travelling nearby!

 

Bibury

One of the absolute best Cotswolds villages is the charming Bibury. I’m not entirely sure if it’s pronounced ‘BIB-bree’ or ‘BYE-bree’ since I’ve heard both variations, but – whichever way it’s pronounced – it is beautiful. We arrived in Bibury just before golden hour began so we were met with wonderful shooting conditions the entire time we were in the village.

Unfortunately, it seems that Bibury’s fame as a quaint English village has had its downsides too – signs on people’s front gates remind visitors ‘PRIVATE PROPERTY – NO TRESPASSING’ in English, Japanese and Mandarin. Please, if you do visit, remember that there are actual people who live in these villages! The quaint cottages have owners and residents – I would hope that everyone would respect their property and land and also their privacy.

One of the best Cotswolds villages is the beautiful Bibury

We walked through the town and past the beautiful Swan Hotel (adorned with an impressive ivy facade!) and along the banks of the River Coln. Bibury was once described by English poet and novelist William Morris and the ‘the most beautiful village in England’ and you can definitely see why!

The Swan Hotel is an iconic sight in the Cotswolds village of Bibury

Arlington Row, a picturesque row of 14th-century cottages, is considered to possibly be one of the most photographed places in the Cotswolds and is owned by the National Trust. If you go in the evening just before sunset, hopefully you’ll experience (as we did) less people than during the day! Plus it makes for wonderful lighting conditions.

Cricklade

Cricklade, like Lacock, is technically not actually within the Cotswolds Area of Oustanding Natural Beauty (AONB) but it was a great place to base ourselves while visiting the other Cotswolds villages on this list. We stayed at the wonderful Old Bear Inn, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Free car parking right behind the pub and an excellent selection of beers, ciders and soft drinks for when we got back after a long day of adventuring to quaint English villages.

As with most small villages your dining options are limited but they were excellent nonetheless! We ate at the local Indian restaurant The Ancient Raj (crazy portion sizes!) for our first night and at the local Thai restaurant Jicsaw Thai (their banana sticky rice is to die for) our second night. We sadly ran out of time before we could dine at The Red Lion but we did fit in a swift pint there – they have an excellent selection of beers (they have their own microbrewery) and ciders and is highly recommended by my dad as well (a beer aficionado).

In the small village of Cricklade, you can find excellent coffee at the Cricklade Club
The Cricklade Club

For coffee, head to the Cricklade Club for excellent espresso. They also have soy milk and drinks are available for drinking in (the interior is very cosy and would be perfect for getting some work done) or takeaway.

Cricklade itself is also very picturesque, so I highly recommend taking many more photos than we did (since we usually got back after dark).

Accommodation at the Old Bear Inn starts at £50pn for a single, £65pn for a double and £90pn for a triple room.

The Old Bear Inn at Cricklade is a great place to base yourself on a Cotswolds road trip

 

North Cotswolds

Most of the villages we visited were in the north of the Cotswolds, in Gloucestershire and Worcestershire. While there are many beautiful villages in the region, these are the ‘cream of the crop’ for me. Plus, some of them just have great names too.

 

Broadway

No, not the theatres. This Broadway is much less bright lights, singing and dancing and rather more Cotswold limestone buildings, inns dating back to the 17th-century and quaint independent shops.

We enjoyed an excellent lunch at the Crown and Trumpet – they offer light bites of sandwiches and paninis as well as larger meals including delicious looking pies. They also have an impressive selection of ciders, such as Black Rat cider and perry (pear cider), Pearson’s summer berries cider, Old Rosie cloudy cider, Lilley’s mango cider and Fanny Bramble’s cider with blackcurrant which were on draft when we visited.

Broadway in Worcestershire is definitely one of the best villages in the Cotswolds

You can also stop by the Broadway Deli, which has thousands of products for sale including a variety of vegan and gluten-free goods as well as a cafe that serves excellent coffee and homemade food. Further along in the village is the lovely Blandford Books, where we picked up a few novels for upcoming flights as well as a book on Cotswolds place names – handy for the rest of our trip!

Enjoy excellent coffee at Broadway Deli in the prettiest village in the Cotswolds

Other wonderful shops in the village include the lovely Cotswolds Trading and the stylish Whatever The Weather and you can find some excellent coffee shops too, such as Hunters Tea Room and Leaf & Bean. You could easily spend a few days in this one village alone! It is sometimes called the ‘Jewel of the Cotswolds’ and you can definitely see why.

Snowshill

Not far from Broadway is the small village of Snowshill. It has only around 160 inhabitants and is pleasant for a brief wander. You can find the village church in the centre, with an iconic red phone box and the local pub just nearby.

Snowshill is best known for Snowshill Lavender, a farm that boasts 35 acres of lavender fields and is a popular place to visit during the early summer months.

Chipping Campden

Chipping Campden is not a village, but rather a Cotswolds town. The small town is home to around 2,200 people and is known for its old High Street, dating back to the 14th to 17th-century. “Chipping” is from Old English cēping meaning “a market” or “a market-place” and you can see Chipping Campden’s market town history from the market hall that still stands in the High Street.

The old market town of Chipping Campden is a must visit in the Cotswolds

Stow-on-the-Wold

Stow-on-the-Wold is another small market town in the Cotswolds with a population of around 2,000. Dating back to the early 12th-century, this small town has a great history! Originally called Edwardstow after the town’s patron saint St. Edward, Stone Age and Bronze Age burial mounds have been found in the vicinity, showing that the existence of a settlement (whether or not called Stow) has in fact been there for much, much longer.

Stow-on-the-Wold is a picturesque market town in the Cotswolds

The popular Stow Fair has a history dating back to 1476, and still occurs both in May and October and is a huge event for the town and surroundings. It’s a lovely town for a stroll and a visit to a cafe or pub!

The Slaughters

Upper Slaughter and Lower Slaughter are two small Cotswolds villages that you can’t miss. In my personal opinion, Lower Slaughter is the best of the two but they are both absolutely picturesque. While the names sound a little… brutal, the meaning behind it comes from the Old English ‘slough’ meaning ‘wet land’.

The River Eye runs through Upper Slaughter and you can walk down to the small ford (where the road goes through the river, but the river is not so deep as to make it not traversable) and on a hot day you can put sit on the bank and put your feet in the cool water and appreciate to the peacefulness of the village.

The River Eye runs through the Cotswolds village of Upper Slaughter

Lower Slaughter is also built on the banks of the River Eye and at the end of the village you can find a 19th-century water mill. Records exist dating Lower Slaughter back at least 1,000 years and the village is named in the Domesday Book as ‘Sclostre’.

Lower Slaughter is definitely one of the prettiest villages in the Cotswolds

One of the best Cotswolds villages to visit is Lower Slaughter

Lower Slaughter is about two times the size of Upper Slaughter and has more in the way of amenities, including the Slaughters Country Inn (perfect for a drink or a bite to eat), the Old Mill Museum and the Riverside Tearoom.

If you're looking for the best Cotswolds villages, head to Lower Slaughter. Don't forget to visit the lovely Slaughters Country Inn!
After exploring the village, stop at the Slaughters Country Inn for a drink or some food

Chipping Norton

The largest town in my list of best places in the Cotswolds is the lovely market town of Chipping Norton, located in Oxfordshire. The town dates back to the 12th-century and still retains some features from these times, such as the local church. While we sadly did not spend much time in Chipping Norton, there is definitely much to do! If possible, coincide your visit with the market that happens every Wednesday and you shouldn’t miss out on a visit to the bookshop and cafe Jaffé & Neale!

Adlestrop

Adlestrop is the complete opposite of Chipping Norton in terms of size – it is the smallest village on this list. Prior names include ‘Tedestrop’ and ‘Edestrop’ and the village has a mere 120 residents. The village is most known for the poem of the same name by Edward Thomas, who wrote about a train journey that stops in Adlestrop. Jane Austen also visited Adlestrop House and is thought to have drawn inspiration from the village and surroundings for her novel Mansfield Park.

Adlestrop is definitely one of the prettiest Cotswolds villages

If you’re lucky you might even meet the local cat Buster, who is rather friendly and apparently goes to most of the church services and usually attends any funerals.

I did try to hold myself back when adding photos to this post… but I definitely struggled. These Cotswolds villages are so picturesque that you should definitely make sure you have well-charged cameras and spare SD cards!

While there are many I haven’t yet visited, I researched as much as I possibly could before we went and this is my list of the absolutely best Cotswolds villages that you can’t miss!

A different perspective of Jerez’s stunning cath A different perspective of Jerez’s stunning cathedral 😍 I had read that Jerez was known for its orange 🍊 blossoms, and I hoped that we would be able to see some when we were there! Sadly, we were a little late as they bloom in February and March, so early April they had been and gone. However, we did see LOTS of oranges 😁 so just another thing to go back to Jerez and see!✨Jerez Cathedral, or Catedral de Jerez, is a stunning building that dates back to the 17th century. The cathedral combines Gothic, Baroque and Neoclassical architectural styles and they all come together to create this spectacular sight.✨Like many churches and cathedrals in Spain, Jerez Cathedral stands atop the Great Mosque of Jerez. Many churches in Spain were built on top of where a mosque stood previously. Other famous example of this include the the Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba (Mezquita-Catedral), the Giralda in Sevilla, the mosque minaret that was converted into the cathedral’s bell tower. The practice of converting mosques into Christian places of worship was common during and after the Reconquista, the reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula that spanned the 8th to 15th centuries.✨Building the cathedral took more than 80 years 😱 but I think you’ll agree that it was worth it 😁 I hope that we can visit inside next time (it was closed as it was Easter weekend) and climb the bell tower as well 😁✨Have you heard of the city of Jerez before?✨#TFGinAndalucia #andaluciaviva #jerez #jerezdelafrontera #estaes_cadiz
Jerez Cathedral is so spectacular that it’s hard Jerez Cathedral is so spectacular that it’s hard to get it all in frame 😱 the cathedral is actually the original reason that I wanted to go to Jerez - I saw a photo of the cathedral and I knew I had to go see it in person 😁 almost a year later and I finally made it to this city 😍✨Our trip was NOT stress free though 😂 Easter 🐣 and that other fun global situation happening right now 🙃 meant that a lot of things were closed.Our first problem... arriving to our hotel at 4:30pm, only to find a sign on the door that said ‘cerrado temporal’ (temporarily closed). We had booked for five of us through @hotelsdotcom, although luckily we chose ‘pay at hotel’.I then had to spend the next hour or more on the phone to Hotels.com trying to make sure we wouldn’t be charged and also sorting out a new hotel 🙃 so thanks for nothing Soho Jerez Boutique Hotel 😒 maybe if you’re closed you shouldn’t be accepting bookings 🙄 luckily, @eurostarshotels Asta Regia had availability for three rooms - I highly recommend this hotel if you’re staying in Jerez! It’s super central and only a short walk from the Alcázar and the cathedral, plus the staff are lovely 🥰-Sadly the cathedral was also closed for visits 😔 but it just means I have to go back to see the inside 😁✨Have you ever had a trip where things have really not gone to plan? 😂 this wasn’t the only problem either 🤣 let me know what things have gone wrong for you on trips ⬇️📸 @robert.blackburn✨#TFGinAndalucia #JerezdelaFrontera #visitandalucia #turismocadiz #cádiz #jerez #andaluciaviva
Still one of my favourite spots in Gibraltar 😍 Still one of my favourite spots in Gibraltar 😍 once again, I spent the weekend bouncing around Gibraltar 🇬🇮 on the bus, and this time Michelle and I first went down to Europa Point (it was so clear! You could see Morocco clearly and even all the way to Ceuta) before heading back into town and getting the bus down to Blackstrap Cove, Eastern Beach and Catalan Bay.-Catalan Bay, also known as ‘La Caleta’, is a bay and fishing village. It’s supposedly ‘the only village in Gibraltar’ although I don’t know how much it really counts as a village 😝-There’s a bunch of different ideas as to how it came to be called Catalan Bay. One theory suggests that the bay is named after 350 Catalan servicemen who settled there after assisting the Anglo-Dutch forces in the capture of Gibraltar in 1704 - there’s documentary evidence of these servicemen settling in Gibraltar after the conquest so this could very well be the origin! Another theory is that it is a mispronunciation of the Spanish name, La Caleta, but I think the other theory seems more legit 😜-Catalan Bay is unique in Gibraltar with its beautiful church and brightly coloured houses, usually named after places in Italy. A lot of the residents of Catalan Bay were Genoese fishermen (we’re talking about back in the 18th century) and Genoese, the main Ligurian Italian dialect, was so widely spoken in Gibraltar at the time that government notices were published in the language, as well as Spanish and English. In the 19th century, only fishermen were permitted to live in Catalan Bay and had to have a permit from the Governor 👨‍⚖️ the families who live here now are mainly descendants of these Genoese fishermen!-The beach is also really popular in summer, which is why I only go out of season 🤣 other popular beaches near here include Eastern Beach and Sandy Beach 🏖-There usually is a big celebration here for Semana Santa / Easter, but I’m not sure what will happen this year. Also, if I was religious I would totally get married in this church 😂 it’s too pretty!-What do you think of this beautiful spot in Gibraltar? Have you seen it before?-#TFGinGibraltar #gibraltar #catalanbay #gibraltarrock
It’s been a while since I posted 😳 after ever It’s been a while since I posted 😳 after everything that has happened in the past few months, I didn’t really have the motivation to be taking photos or to be posting on social media. But I have some good news to share (at last) 🥰1) I have a job here in Gibraltar! This means I can now start to sort all my things like ID card and healthcard 💃🏻2) I CAN LEAVE 😂 thanks to now having a work contract, I can now travel across the border into Spain. We can only travel within the Cádiz province right now as Spain has border lockdowns for each province, plus municipalities if their number of cases is too high. It’s a bit complex and means I still can’t go and visit my parents 😔 (Estepona is in Málaga province) but I can see some more of Spain, such as Jerez de la Frontera or Tarifa. Hopefully planning some mini socially-distanced trips soon!3) I have been learning Japanese 🇯🇵 Rob and I decided that when we can finally travel internationally, we would like to do a big trip to Japan. So I decided to start learning Japanese 😁-This weekend, I took the bus with a friend down to Europa Point and the views were stunning 🥰 the weather was beautiful and you could clearly see across to Morocco! I wish I had taken my camera but I only had my phone on me so some iPhone shots were all I could do 😁-Have you gone anywhere lately? Have you planned anything for later this year or next year, even if it’s just an idea so far?-#TFGingibraltar #gibraltar #visitgibraltar #europe_greatshots
RIP Nan 💔 You just celebrated your 94th birthda RIP Nan 💔You just celebrated your 94th birthday. We couldn’t be there for that. I haven’t been able to see you in over a year. I won’t be able to go to your funeral. Neither will your daughter or son-in-law.-It sucks that you got your first vaccine jab but contracted the virus just after, or possibly just before you did. It sucks that we couldn’t visit you. It sucks that you seemed to have got better, but then you just... weren’t. 🤍 I wish we could have been there with you. I wish we could have said goodbye. 🤍-Last night, my Nan passed away around 7pm. Her oxygen levels dropped badly and she didn’t recover. She had contracted Covid in her care home, despite all the safety measures they had in place. She had JUST had the first vaccine, so I thought she was ‘safe’. Then when she got the virus, she was taken into hospital for the evening for observation but taken back to the care home (in isolation) as she seemed fine. That was about two weeks ago. She was fine, until yesterday she suddenly wasn’t. I’m still kind of in shock over it.-Nan always said about how she wanted to be with grandpops. He passed away 21 years ago, and she struggled so much after he passed. At least now she can finally be with him again ❤️1927 - 2021, you did good Nan 💜 rest in peace 🤍
