Bourton-on-the-Water is often called the "Venice of the Cotswolds" due to the River Windrush flowing through its center, spanned by several low bridges.

It's a central hub for exploring the wider Cotswolds region, with easy access to other popular villages like Stow-on-the-Wold and the Slaughters.

When is the best time to go to Great Rissington?
The best time to visit Great Rissington is during the late spring (May to early June) and early autumn (September to October) when the weather is pleasant and the Cotswold landscape is at its most appealing.
