Lower Slaughter is currently my pick for most picturesque village in England that I have seen so far. It is a very small village in the county of Gloucestershire located in the Cotswold District. Through the middle of the village flows the River Eye and from the flower covered banks you can watch the trout swimming in the crystal clear water.

At one end of the village next to the river is The Old Mill which is has a working (not all the time) undershot waterwheel. There is a small museum, craft shop and tearooms which are worth a visit. It is not as busy or touristy as the nearby popular Bourton-on-the-Water this is because there is no parking for the large tour buses which I think help keep the village's charm.

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean 10th wedding anniversary gave us a card and vouchers for complimentary drink. Breakfast was brilliant restaurant in even good but a bit stretched staff wise when busy. Beautiful setting where the hotel is a decent distance from beautiful chippen Norton and Bicester village "
