Gloucestershire
Daylesford
The farm, the table, the shop. A way of living, not a weekend. A lane from Kingham.
The parish
Villages you can
walk home in.
Oxfordshire
Kingham
The green, the school, The Wild Rabbit, The Plough. Paddington from the station. The village people mean when they say the Cotswolds.
Gloucestershire
Stow-on-the-Wold
High on the wold. Thursday farmers' market, antiques, walks down to Lower Swell.
Worcestershire
Broadway
The wide street, the tower, the honey stone that stops a car.
Gloucestershire
Chipping Campden
The High Street as a single composition. Arts and Crafts still in the grain.
Gloucestershire
Bibury
Arlington Row. William Morris called it the most beautiful village in England.
Oxfordshire
Burford
The hill into town. Hill, church, Windrush. A proper Cotswold threshold.
Wiltshire
Castle Combe
A lane that has refused the century. Quiet, filmed, still itself.
Oxfordshire
Churchill
The quieter parish next door. The Chequers, All Saints, walks to Sarsden. Found after Kingham. Kept because it does not perform.
