As I strolled along the riverbank, I encountered a lovely little café called “Cotswold Perfumery.” The owners had a delightful selection of handmade soaps and fragrances inspired by the local flora, and I struck up a conversation with the owner, who shared fascinating stories about how they source their ingredients. She mentioned that the Cotswolds is home to some of the finest wildflowers, especially during the spring and summer months, which inspired many of her products.
Continuing my walk towards Upper Slaughter, I passed by lush green fields dotted with sheep, a quintessential sight in this part of England. The tranquillity of the countryside was truly refreshing, and I felt connected to nature. I even met a group of fellow walkers who were visiting from London, and we exchanged tips on hidden gems in the Cotswolds.
Once I reached Upper Slaughter, I visited the old church, St. Mary’s, which dates back to the 12th century. The stunning architecture and serene atmosphere were captivating. I learned that the village derives its name from the Old English word “slough,” which means muddy place, and the word “upper” simply distinguishes it from Lower Slaughter nearby.
On my return to Bourton, the sun began to set, casting a golden hue over the landscape; it was nothing short of magical. Each step I took was filled with history and beauty, and I couldn’t help but feel grateful for the opportunity to explore such a lovely part of England. This walk was not just about the sights
