From Oxford, we headed through the Cotswolds. We only had a vague plan in mind - see the Slaughters for a friend of Mum and Dad's, and go to Stanway (which might not be spelt correctly), which is where my great grandparents used to live.
First stop was Bourton-on-the-Water, a picturesque village with a stream (canal?) running through the main street. Clearly a tourist destination, the village high street was filled with cute shops and cafes, and so we stopped there for lunch.
After lunch we headed a few miles away to the Upper and Lower Slaughter. I had seen the Slaughters on a travel program once, but that didn't do justice to it. It was amazing - clearly not for tourists, it was so beautiful. There was an old mill, sheep, daffodils - the typical English village.
