With the Cotswolds marked as an Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it’s not surprising that the small village of Bourton-On-The-Hill is just as scenic as the famous hills that surround it. Located near to the town of Moreton In Marsh, facilities are somewhat limited, but include award winning pub ‘The Horse and Groom’, and an array of self catering holiday cottages.
It’s an ideal place to stay if you want to explore the area. Close by you’ll find Cotswold Falconry Centre, and Bourton House Ornamental Gardens and Tea Room, which are popular with visitors in the summer. Further afield there’s Batsford Arboretum, famed for its Far Eastern plant collection, and the Indian inspired Sezincote House.
Other attractions within reach include Cheltenham Racecourse, Cotswold Farm Park, Birdland at Bourton-On-The-Water, Broadway Golf Club, and the National Trust properties of Snowshill Manor, Chastleton House, and Hidcote Manor Garden. The tourist information centre at Moreton on The Marsh will have details of all the other attractions worth visiting. The town is also home to pubs, restaurants, supermarkets, and other shops, alongside a mainline train station, and bus/taxi services that will transport you to the village.
If you’re looking for a quiet place to stay, with great views, and access to all Gloucestershire/The Cotswolds have to offer, then why not plan a trip to Bourton-On- The-Hill.
