Anyone in search of the true English countryside needs look no further than the Cotswolds. Nestling between Wales and the Midlands but less than two hours from London by car, a warm welcome is assured at any time of the year.

The pub is located just a ten minute walk across open fields from Lower Slaughter, situated on the banks of the little river eye. The river, known locally as the slaughter brook, runs though the water wheel of the 18th century corn mill. This walk offers great scenery and a real taste of the English rural life and is just one of the many miles of public footpaths offered by the Cotswolds.

The traditional villages, Market Towns and Cathedral cities are a constant attraction to visitors from around the world. Set amongst the rolling valleys and ancient woodland, you will find the honey colored stone and thatched roofs that give the Cotswolds their character.

This area of outstanding natural beauty covering nearly 800 square miles offers many attractions including Britain's largest Water Park, with over 132 lakes offering water based activities of all kinds. Many historic canals have been restored and may be enjoyed at your leisure, Burford Wildlife Sanctuary is also, well worth a visit.

So, whether you are looking for a quiet browse in one of the many quaint antique shops, some more adventurous activities or to explore some of the outstanding gardens scattered in the hills, come to the heart of England and enjoy the countryside, the people and the attractions.
