    Cotswolds Tours & Villages Cotswolds tours around local villages give a distinct air of beauty to the eye of any visitor to the area. You will often find locals waving and saying hello in the summer as they sit and watch the world go by, children play out on village greens and walkers stride through lanes and fields admiring the breath-taking scenery and views. Cotswold villages are a wonderful place to live and there are many villages which have several historical sites, making them famous landmarks, enticing people to the area. Many of the villages in the Cotswolds are dotted along the picturesque countryside, nestled on the rolling hills between magnificent market towns. Cotswolds tours regularly take visitors through the picture- perfect villages, showing them a somewhat picturesque vision of typical Cotswold life. Many villages and towns are built from the beautiful Cotswold stone which could be described as a warm honey-coloured limestone, typical of the area. Cotswold Villages – The Slaughters Upper and Lower Slaughter are two awe-inspiring villages which offer visitors a perfect Cotswold scene of honey-coloured Cotswold stone cottages that beautifully line the streets and lanes. Known as ‘The Slaughters’, the villages in Gloucestershire are close to Stow-on-the-Wold and Bourton-on- the-Water. They are twin villages where the River Eye divides them and runs through the centre of the villages and the word ‘Slaughter’ comes from the word ‘Slohtre’, an Anglo-Saxon phrase for ‘muddy place’. A street called Copse Hill Road in Lower Slaughter has been named by Google Maps as being the ‘most romantic street in England’.

  • Notes on the Village of Upper Slaughter Gloucestershire, United Kingdom
    Notes on the Village of Upper Slaughter Gloucestershire, United Kingdom provided by Bruce Slawter March 2006 The following observations about the history and points of interest regarding Upper Slaughter are based upon information gathered during a visit with my wife Suzanne to the village in August 2005. Besides getting to know the layout of this charming Cotswolds hamlet a little better, my chief interests during the visit were as follows: • Learn more about the origins of Upper Slaughter and the Slaughter Family • Determine why the Slaughter Family’s presence in the village seemed to have disappeared altogether by the mid-18th Century • Understand what may have motivated John Slaughter (the “emigrant”) to leave the village and travel to far-away Virginia in 1617 • Get an appreciation for what life was like during the acme of the Slaughter Family's tenure as lords of the manor • Become familiar with the special features of the village Hopefully the following random notes will help shed some light on several of these issues – although I am afraid that the notion of providing completely satisfying answers, without the benefit of additional data, will remain problematic. 1 Acknowledgments I would like to express my appreciation for the assistance provided by two long-standing residents of Upper Slaughter. Mr. Francis E.B. Witts, the current Lord of the Manor , graciously provided me with a copy of a the chapter on Upper Slaughter from Victoria History of Gloucestershire (shortened in these notes to simply VHG) , which was published around 1965. Mr. Tony Collett, a semi-retired local builder whose family has resided continuously in the village since the late 16 th Century, generously spent one pleasant evening after dinner explaining to me the layout of the village and his experiences growing up in Upper Slaughter during the Second World War.

  • Famous Cotswold Villages
    Famous Cotswold Villages The beautiful region of the Cotswolds spreads across 800 square miles, through Warwickshire, Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire, Wiltshire and parts of north east Somerset. Charming Cotswold villages are nestled between hills, market towns and summer meadows. If you’re planning a visit or a weekend in the Cotswolds, then you will not be surprised that the area has been named as the second largest area of outstanding natural beauty in England and Wales. The Cotswolds is not only famous for being unspoilt and beautiful, it was also well-known for being one of the largest contributors to the European wool trade. Before the Industrial Revolution, the Cotswolds was covered in sheep and farmers would take their flocks to weekly markets in the Cotswold market towns. The cloth trade moved to the north of England after the Industrial Revolution and the Cotswolds remained under-developed, calm and beautiful. Sheep farming has since lessened in the area, leaving the countryside free for agriculture, cows and walkers. The landscape is vast and hilly and in Spring the lanes are lined with daffodils and woodland is covered in wildflowers including bluebells.
