Walking down the hill and past some typical honey-colored cottages, constructed of local limestone...
you eventually reach the center of Snowshill, which was used as a
filming location for the PBS Series, "Father Brown."
Continuing on with your walk, you pause for a moment beside the Church of St. Barnabus
and its old graveyard with so many stories to tell.
Designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) in 1966, the Cotswolds
is the largest AONB in England.
Your walk through Snowshill pauses periodically to contemplate the various quaint cottages
found here before ...
leaving the village by way of a tree-lined road.
Your walk continues as you next enter the village of Stanton.
Walking behind an elderly gentleman out for a stroll
you stop to take in a lovely
thatched-roofed cottage on the outskirts of Stanton.
Further on, a group of riders pass as you enter into the center of this traditional
Cotswold village
Everywhere you look, green plants are thriving.
Following the "Cotswold Way" road post, you leave Stanton ...
and next enter into
the picturesque village of Bourton-on-the-Water.
The River Windrush flows through the heart of this popular Cotswold village.
Your walk
follows the footpath beside the river as it cuts through the village.
The idyllic village of Bibury is next on your walk. Starting at the Church...
you soon pause at
the famous Arlington Row, certainly one of the most well-known sites in the Cotswolds.
Further on, your walk takes you beside Rack Isle, where dyed woolens were once hung to dry...
and on through the village and past the historic Swan Hotel.
And last, your hour-long walk takes you into arguably the most scenic village in all of the Cotswolds,
Castle Combe.
You follow a narrow forest footpath...
and suddenly the village appears - as if by magic.
This quintessential old English Village has been the setting of numerous TV programs...
including an Agatha Christie's
Hercule Poirot mystery along with the children's motion picture, Dr. Dolittle...
Steven Spielberg's production of War Horse, nominated for 6 Oscars, along with the motion pictures
Stardust and The Wolfman were filmed in this picture-postcard English Village.
Your walk will actually take you inside this quiet and tranquil church to view the
effigy of a knight in a suit of chain mail who has rested here for centuries.
After a complete walking tour of this picturesque village, your 60 minute walk ends here, at the By Brook.
