The Cotswolds Tour

Thursday, May 8th (Lorri's Birthday!)

Old hands at getting around London now, we took the District line back to South Kensington

We met the bus outside of Urban Baristas and hopped on board 

First stop was the little town of Burford

People live here!

So cute!

A busy road in Burford

Hill View in Burford

Another Hill view

Cotswold limestone construction

And slate roofs

Lots of wisteria

A famous inhabitant. He has a farm there but is not much of a farmer.

 

The church

More wisteria

One of the few thatched roofs we saw

 

 

Next stop, Biberry and Arlington Row

Arlington Row

The most photographed spot in the Cotswolds

Apparently Henry Ford tried to buy Arlington Row and move it to the US but got aced out by these guys.

a "row" house

Close up of the Row

Closer up!

The hard part was keeping people out of the photos.

Looking back

 

Bourton-on-the-Water

Walking from the bus lot

VE Day 80 years ago.

We had lunch here

and it was good!

The water at B on the W

Foot bridges

Everything was green and blooming

View from a foot bridge

The oldest inn in England!

Lorri and Jack visit the oldest inn

It's true! Carbon-dated!

Looks good for a thousand-year-old!

 

You can read all about it!

The church doors said to have inspired J.R.R. Tolkien's Doors of Durin in Lord of the Rings 

Another little alley, allegedly used to sort the sheep and count them one-by-one as they passed through.
