| Adlestrop
|
|
Famous as the subject of a poem by Edward Thomas, Adlestrop is the kind of place that first-time visitors to Britain imagine all English villages are like. A quiet lane or two, a thatched village store, an old Rectory and manor house on either side of the parish church.

| Ashleworth
|
|
A small village with a lot of historical interest to offer visitors. There is a 14th century preaching cross on the village green, a 15th century tithe barn (National Trust) and a church which has Saxon stonework. In the church is one of the earliest known examples of a royal coat of arms, dating to the reign of Edward VI.

| Berkeley
|
|
There can be no doubt why most visitors come to Berkeley - it is the grim fortress of Berkely Castle that draws them. Berkeley Castle rises like a grim, gray prison brooding over the nearby Severn estuary. And indeed, its main claim to fame rests on its role as the final prison for King Edward II.

| Bibury
|
|
Bibury, nestled in the eastern hills of the Cotswolds, first earned its title of "the most beautiful village in England" from the artist and craftsman, William Morris (1834-96). It's not hard to see why. However you approach this village on the river Coln, it exudes charm from every house and tree and meadow.

| Blockley
|
|
There ought to be a law that villages can't look as pretty as this! It's a lucky thing that I didn't cause an accident when I first came around a corner on the road from Moreton in Marsh and spied the tower of St Peter and St Paul peering above the greenery that encompasses Blockley.
