Moreton-in-Marsh — Market town

Highlight • Settlement

A thriving market town in the Cotswolds, Moreton-in-Marsh still holds a market every Tuesday. The town has been hosting travellers for at least 1,700 years and many inns, pubs and hotels still welcome visitors today. Built from typical golden Cotswold stone, the town has a pretty 18th century high street and many historic buildings. You can even visit a pub where King Charles I sheltered during the English Civil war – the White Hart. They have a copy of his unpaid bill in the entrance lobby.

Other famous visitors to the town include J. R. R. Tolkien, author of the Lord of the Rings trilogies. The Bell Inn supposedly inspired Middle Earth's pub the Prancing Pony.

Cotswold Lavender Fields

Highlight • Natural

There are multiple ways to approach this spot. Maybe the funnest is up from Broadway on the climb to Snowshill which is about 8% for a couple of kms. A second good approach is from Chipping Campden - a long a fairly steady/easy climb with a couple of steeper spots. Also close by is Broadway Tower, which has a good café for tea and cake...
