Tips from the Community
During our short holiday on the edge of the Cotswolds, we stumbled upon Hidcote Manor Garden by chance. And we can say: it was one of the most beautiful garden designs we have ever seen. Every meter opens up a new perspective, new impressions, and new lighting conditions. We walked through the garden rooms in awe and are thrilled. Wikipedia writes: "The Hidcote Manor Garden is an English park in the Arts & Crafts style.[1] It is located in Hidcote Bartrim in the northeast of Chipping Campden in the county of Gloucestershire. The garden was created from 1907 by the American privateer Lawrence Waterbury Johnston and has belonged to the National Trust since 1948. Characteristic of the garden, which covers more than 40,000 square meters, are above all the division into different garden rooms, English Outdoor Rooms, the sightlines, English Vistas, the artfully trimmed shrubs, as well as the red perennial beds, English Red Borders. The Hidcote Manor Garden is located on a 183 m high plateau on the northern edge of the Cotswolds. Belonging to the county of Gloucestershire and located on the border with the county of Warwickshire, Hidcote is approximately two kilometers east of Mickleton, approximately seven kilometers northeast of Chipping Campden, and 16 kilometers south of Stratford-upon-Avon. The garden of Hidcote is listed in the National Heritage List for England in the highest class, Grade I." Our three-hour visit was rounded off with delicious cake and clotted cream in the café. Our conclusion: Anyone in the area should definitely stop by!

In the search for a worthy patron saint for this church, the Archangel Michael was initially chosen, whose name (derived from Hebrew) means "Who is like God?". However, it was then apparently decided that it wouldn't hurt to significantly increase the number of intercessors before God's throne for this church and its parishioners. Thus, the idea arose not to choose just a single patron saint, but to extend the patronage to the entire heavenly host (i.e., "All Angels").

A very fitting end to the Wychavon Way, Broadway is a lovely place.

Was named the Times Village Pub of the Year. Four cask on and North Cotswold Shagweaver in excellent condition. You would hope so for £5.45 a pint.

The whole village is a 'highlight'. Another hidden gem in the Cotswolds. Highlights within the highlight have been posted separately so I won't repeat them here. Suffice to say that Ebrington is well worth a visit and provides a beautiful and peaceful base camp for exploring the wider areas.

"The Ebrington Arms is an idyllic Cotswold pub dating back to the 1600s. Set in stunning countryside overlooking the village green and thatched cottages, this independent pub has won many accolades over the years for being just a great pub!"

Very lovely village right in front of the Cotswolds. Popular both among walkers (Wychavon Way & The Cotswold Way) and cyclists (close to NCN 442 and some uphills to Broadway Tower, which is ~4 miles from Broadway).
