Upper Slaughter


We passed by a magnificent manor house on the way into Upper Slaughter as well as a butterfly bush swarmed with butterflies. We first visited the church here and picked up a bag of local apples for 50p. From the church we found the old school house, covered in flowers, still with an old metal bell on the exterior. Down the hill from the schoolhouse we met the river Eye again as it forded the road. Nearby was a house with an impressive number of dove holes in its facade. We walked along the river for a bit before coming upon another luxury hotel where we got directions for the footpath back to Lower Slaughter where we got in the car and made our way to Stow on the Wold. Where we did a quick tour of the town as the shops closed then went on to pass through Chipping Camden with a quick stop to see its wool market then on the M5 and back to Bristol.
