Day 7 - Hidcote Bartrim - Hidcote Gardens on Friday, May 10th, 2013

PAfter the cold and windy visit to Broadway Tower, we enjoyed a hot lunch at the Horse and Hounds pub in Broadway.  After we warmed up,we walked through the Hidcote Gardens. The gardens are more formal near the manor house, less formal and more natural the further one gets from the house.

Day 7 - Broadway - Broadway Tower on Friday, May 10th, 2013

Today, We followed a route through Stanton , Stanway ,Broadway, Snowshill,Hidcote and Broad Campden.  On the way, we visited Broadway Tower. The tower is a "folly" built in the 1800's to resemble a medieval tower to entertain its owners. Really nice view from the top!

Day 5 - The Cotswolds - Circuit Drive on Wednesday, May 8th, 2013.

Breakfast was wonderful.  Full English for me and continental for Pam. Shared the table with a couple from California . Good conversation. One can always learn from fellow travelers!

We decided to drive through the Cotswolds today because it was raining off and on. We followed a figure 8 route through Batford, Stow On The Wold, Upper & Lower Slaughter, Bourton On The Water, Burford and Bibury. We ran out of daylight to finish the circuit so we'll save Stanway, Stanton and Broadway for another day.

Topped off the day with supper at Michael's Mediterranean Restaurant in the center of Chipping Campden  . We both enjoyed their Shrimp Scampi. The Ouzo and Greek Coffee ended the meal perfectly.
