Monday 16 May - We slept in late, enjoying the tolling of the church bells on the hour. Breakfast was very generous and delicious but sadly the staff was still a bit lacking. After a leisurely breakfast we wandered back through the town, and then ventured along some more footpaths. It started out grey and overcast but turned into a stunning day with lovely blue skies and fluffy white clouds. We took out time exploring the fields and woods before returning to the hotel. Then we nipped over to the trout farm to stock up on fish for dinner. When we returned it was time to check out of the room. We packed up the car settled the bill then headed out. We stopped in Burford to peruse the shops on the high street then made our way to the slaughters. The slaughters are two serene little Cotswold villages nestled along the river. There is an excellent shop in Lower slaughter with the best strawberry ice cream in the world. We stopped for ice cream then ate our cones as we walked to upper slaughter then looped back around to the car. Then sadly it was time to say farewell to the Cotswolds and make our way back to Bristol.
