Overview
Stow-on-the-Wold
Embark on a journey through time in Stow-on-the-Wold, the highest of the Cotswold towns, steeped in history and charm. Explore the impressive Market Square, adorned with ancient market stocks and a medieval market cross, surrounded by quaint townhouses, cozy cafes, and antique centers, all crafted from the region's signature honey-colored stone.
Delve into the town's rich past, from its strategic location on the Roman Fosse Way to its pivotal role in the English Civil War, witnessed by the battle scars still visible today. Visit St Edward’s Church, once a makeshift prison for defeated Royalist troops, and admire its iconic 'Tolkienesque' North Door, said to have inspired the 'Doors of Durin' in the Lord of the Rings.
Join us on a journey through centuries of history and legend in this picturesque Cotswold gem, where every corner tells a story waiting to be discovered.
