Often referred to as the Venice of the Cotswolds, this is probably the most popular village in the Cotswolds. The River Windrush with its attractive low bridges runs right through the centre. There are many attractions suitable for visitors of all ages, including Birdland, the Model Village and Village Life Exhibition, the Motor Museum, the Cotswold Perfumery, the Model Railway and St Lawrence’s Church which is notable for its domed tower, unique in the Cotswolds. Salmonsbury Meadows has recently been saved as a wildlife reserve and the Iron Age site of Salmonsbury Camp can be traced in outline.
BOURTON-ON-THE-WATER - walks
The Cotswolds is an area of outstanding natural beauty with its rolling hills, wide open views, cosy valleys, rivers and streams and its enchanting little villages. There are many walks from the village centre designed for the visitor to enjoy the variety of scenery. Most walks are along public bridleways and footpaths and where roads are included in a walk, they are usually quiet country lanes. There are longer walks up to 12 miles in length with shorter alternatives and also footpaths in and around the village itself for more casual walks of up to an hour.
