The spot less than 15 minutes from Bath that no one is talking about... 🍂✨

Bradford-on-Avon is an untouched highlight filled with historic buildings, cosy pubs, and independent shops. From its 14th-century tithe barn and 13th-century town bridge to its scenic canals, a stroll here feels like stepping back in time.

Base yourself at the gorgeous Lavender Cottage, nestled right within these picture-perfect streets. Soak in the stunning architecture, rich history, and cap off your day with a memorable treat at The Bridge Tea Rooms.

Have you visited Bradford-on-Avon before?

A Foolproof Guide to Walking Between Stow-on-the-Wold and Bourton-on-the-Water 💫🍁🍂

The Cotswolds were built for this season, as a walk is one of the most loved pastimes. What’s better than a scenic walk between two of the most iconic towns via the even more iconic Lower Slaughter? If there is any walk to do to catch the sights of three of the most sought-after towns and villages within the region, not to mention the remarkable Hawkstone Brewery to get a well-deserved pint of Hawkstone along the way, this is it.

🍂🍁 In Gloucestershire, the Forest of Dean turns into something truly magic once the air chills. In autumn, the ancient canopy explodes into deep golds and fiery reds, while winter brings quiet, misty mornings perfect for crisp woodland walks and pub fires. It’s a landscape shaped by centuries of history, from ancient royal hunting grounds and Roman mines to timeless folklore, making it feel a world away without the plane ticket. 🍂🍁

The town that 99% of tourists drive straight past… 🚗

There are a few famous spots everyone gravitates towards when visiting the Cotswolds. Whether it’s the iconic Arlington Row in Bibury, the charming footbridges of Bourton-on-the-Water, or the vibrant market square of Stow-on-the-Wold, these spots will always attract the crowds.

Thanks to our local expertise, we know all the hidden locations you should visit if you want to experience the magic of the Cotswolds without the busy crowds…and this is the one people almost always miss.

Northleach is what we like to call the quieter alternative to Stow-on-the-Wold. This peaceful market town is home to a handful of wonderful independent shops, historic timber-framed buildings, and cosy cafes to grab a coffee or lunch.
It’s also the perfect base for exploring the local area, with quick access to nearby towns like Cirencester and Tetbury. Packed with scenic walking routes, cycling paths, and rich history, this is your ultimate local spot to an uncrowded Cotswold getaway. 🌿☕

📌 Save this post for your next trip to the Cotswolds!
