    BOURTON-ON-THE-WATER CONSERVATION AREA STATEMENT Planning guidance for owners, occupiers and developers Bourton-on-the-Water lies in the broad valley of the River Windrush and is one of the largest villages in the district. It is recognised as one of the most popular tourist attractions in the Cotswolds. The centre of the village is picturesque, with ornamental low stone bridges spanning the clear waters of the River Windrush, and a broad village green flanked by many fine Cotswold stone buildings, all providing the setting for one of the most photographed Cotswold scenes. The aim of the conservation area is to conserve and enhance the older parts of the village, while maintaining a balance between tourism and the natural beauty of Bourton-on-the-Water.

  • THE COTSWOLDS Malvern Hills Pershore Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty Evesham
    Worcester MORGAN HIRE CAR ROUTE A449 A THE COTSWOLDS Malvern Hills Pershore Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty Evesham Upton-Upon The Cotswolds covers a huge area, almost 800 square miles, Severn and runs through five counties (Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Warwickshire, Wiltshire and Worcestershire). One of the delights of visiting the Cotswolds is exploring the different areas, each with Broadway its own identity, yet all with those defining Cotswold features: M50 golden stone and rolling hills, the ‘wolds’. Beautiful driving roads A46 Snowshill make this stunning part of the country ideal for a top down Tewksbury #MorganAdventure. We’d loosely recommend a loop that sticks to A and B roads M5 taking in Upton-Upon-Severn, Pershore, Broadway, Snowshill, The Slaughters, Northleach, Burford and then back through Stow-On-The-Wold and Tewkesbury. The joy of the Cotswolds is Stow-on-the-Wold Town Council turning off the beaten track, exploring the quintessentially English Upper Slaughter villages of honey coloured stone, enjoying the stunning scenery Cheltenham from the cockpit of a Morgan.
