Belas Knap

Even though it is a bit of hike to get to, this ancient burial mound is worth the effort, especially towards dusk when the site becomes magical in appearance.

If you are a fan of archaeology and history this should interest you. A nice walk up to the site - park on the road in the lay-by where the English Heritage sign is. The walk is a little steep by not bad and benefits from some wonderful views. The site itself is fabulous- not loads to see but a really interesting place to visit non-the-less. Tip - do a little research about Neolithic and long barrows before going will make it more worthwhile.

Hailes Church

Reviewed By bigbird314

Happened to be passing following a diversion - a wonderful find. Totally "unimproved" with ancient pews, tiles and beautiful wall paintings - and no electric light. Adjacent to Hailes Abbey (closed in Winter) but well a worth a detour.

St. Peter's Church

Reviewed By michaeljones560 - Caversham, United Kingdom

I love to visit Churches for the history and there is no dissapointment here, frequently used and someone is actually there to offer you an overview of the Church. Facinating looking at the Architeture and seeing the Gargoyles and learning about the charactures they represented years ago, The High Sheriff looks ar escary one....

Cotswolds Way

Reviewed By 984annl - Bristol, United Kingdom

A 102 mile walk from Chipping Campden to Bath - done in bits over several weeks or as an 8 day holiday with your stuff being moved on day after day and staying in b&bs I as lucky when I did mine that the weather was great
