Beautiful village but extremely busy with tourists. There are many more beautiful villages in the region without all the people.

Beautiful Cotswold village with, among other things, a local art gallery, pub and manor. Most visitors, however, will come for the magnificent old watermill. Worthwhile and, despite the tourists, considerably quieter than the nearby Bourton-on-the-Water.

Harnessing the power of moving water to drive a mill wheel is an age-old invention of the human spirit of discovery, the origin of which can be traced back to times long past. Thanks to such a construction, the human or animal muscle power could be easily replaced by the power of the natural elements by means of a - natural or artificially created - watercourse, in order to grind grain into corn or to press oil from fruits, for example. Man unterscheidet bei Wassermühlen im Wesentlichen zwei Varianten zum Antrieb: * Either the flowing water simply hits the blades of the water wheel from below to set it in motion; or * the watercourse is guided - usually through a so-called "mill canal" - above the wheel and falls on the blades; with this construction, a higher efficiency is given by the natural gravity.

In the middle of a small green area within the village, a cross rises atop a tall stone shaft. However, as hikers notice upon approach, this is by no means a small sacred monument in the sense of the wayside crosses common in some regions. Rather, this monument, like those found in many villages, is dedicated to the memory of the victims of war and tyranny.
