Bourton-on-the-Water, often called the “Venice of the Cotswolds,” is a charming English village in Gloucestershire. It is famous for the clear River Windrush, which gently flows through the centre, crossed by a series of low, stone footbridges that give the village its picture-perfect character. Honey-coloured limestone cottages line the streets, creating a classic Cotswold look. The village is both peaceful and lively, with riverside greens that fill with visitors enjoying picnics in summer. It is home to unique attractions such as the Model Village, a detailed miniature replica of Bourton itself. The Cotswold Motoring Museum, with its collection of vintage cars and memorabilia, adds to the appeal. Bourton-on-the-Water is a favourite stop on Cotswold tours, blending natural beauty with quaint shops, tearooms, and traditional pubs. The village retains a timeless charm that makes it one of the most photographed and beloved destinations in the Cotswolds.
