Cotswold Holiday Cottages in Blockley

Blockley is a very pretty village - well off the beaten track and hidden in a valley an equal distance between Moreton in Marsh and Chipping Campden. It was renowned in the 17th & 18th Centuries for its Silk Mills but is now a very peaceful charming village with its mill stream winding its way through the bottom of the valley.

With many very enjoyable walks leading from the village and surrounded by beautiful countryside, Blockley has much to offer the holidaymaker. Its attractive village green overlooks the popular Bowling Green and beautiful Norman Church and is a pleasant place to enjoy a picnic on sunny days. The quaint High Street winds its way past traditional Cotswold stone cottages and houses built into the hillside and ends in a wood where you can enjoy a stroll (you may see deer if you are quiet).

The village has a very good General Store / Post Office and an excellent delicatessan / coffee shop selling good quality organic wines, cheeses and delicious cakes. If you would like to eat out in the village, there are two pubs - The Crown Inn, with its restaurant and brasserie, where you can sit outside and enjoy a drink in the nicer weather and The Great Western Arms - serves good family meals. There is also Lower Brook House Hotel where you can arrange to go out for that special meal.

Stratford on Avon is 15 miles, Cheltenham 22 miles and Oxford 30 miles. Nearest train station - Moreton in Marsh - London, Paddington. Airport - Birmingham
