Spent four days walking through the Cotswolds. Bampton (famous for its filming of “Downton Abbey”), Little Barrington, Stow-on-the-Wold, Lower Slaughter, Burton-on-the Water, Bibury, St. Aldwyns, and more! Hiked approximately five miles a day. Beautiful villages, churches, trails, cows, and sheep
This one actually works!

Lunch stop at a trout farm. Trout Trio - smoked, baked, and a “pate” that was basically a dip
St. Edward’s Church in Stow-on-the Wold. The church’s north door flanked by two ancient yew trees is rumored to have sparked Tolkien’s inspiration for the Doors of Durin
Lunch break!
