...but we did make it to the Cotswolds and it was just as beautiful as we expected it to be! We were blessed with some beautiful weather as we toured the famed Blenheim Place (where Churchill was born and many Dukes of Marlborough have lived), hiked through some of the most beautiful countryside, and visited the roman baths in Bath. We had a couple of friends in town who are embarking on a round-the-world tour, so it was wonderful to welcome them to the island and show them why we have loved living here.
So without further comment...the picturesque Cotswolds:
First, a stop at Blenheim Palace. It housed one of the most magnificent libraries I have visited and the manicured gardens provided a perfect spot to pose:
Speaking on manicured gardens...their hedge maze was really incredible. Like Hampton Court, but with better spots to capture the experience:
The front gate with our friends Karen and David...we lucked out and had very few other tourists there:
How cute is this village pub with ivy covered walls and a small trout farm:
We stayed in the small village of Northleach and happened upon this incredible church in a town of ~200. Amazing
We lucked out with Daffodil season, they were everywhere!
No surprise, but P took out his drone and captured an aerial view of one of the beautiful villages in the Cotwolds:
On our hike, we loved seeing the adorable lambs of the season:
Our final stop was the city of Bath where there are some incredibly well-preserved Roman Baths. The size and detail of the Baths impressed us:
