Stow on the Wold to the Slaughters Walk

The route runs for just under 4 miles with views of the rolling hills and three quintesentially English villages to enjoy. You'll also pass the picturesque Hyde Mill where there's a pretty bridge and lake with views of the River Dikler.
You could extend the walk by continuing south along the path to the ever popular Bourton on the Water.

Pubs/Cafes
Back in Stow be sure to pay a visit to Britain's oldest pub at the Porch House. The inn has an interesting history dating all the way back to the 10th century when it was thought to have been a hospice built on on land belonging to Evesham Abbey. The interior has bags of old character with wonky ceilings and a very fine 16th century fireplace. They do excellent food and also provide accommodation if you need to stay over. There's also an outdoor area for finer days. You can find the historic inn on Digbeth Street with a postcode of GL54 1BN for your sat navs.

Cross and Sundial, Stow-on-the-Wold. Situated in the market place in the town centre.
Hyde Mill. The lake is formed by the damming of the River Dikler. It is crossed on a bridge that carries the Macmillan Way, the Gloucestershire Way and a popular local footpath to Lower Slaughter. Therefore this scene is probably photographed many times a day.
Lower Slaughter. The end of the village, towards Upper Slaughter; this is more or less in the centre of the grid square.

The footpath, part of four long distance paths, goes diagonally across this field on its way from Lower Slaughter to Hyde Mill. On this day, the entire field had been enclosed with an electric fence with no gaps or crossing points to accommodate walkers. The buildings of Kirkham Farm are visible in the background.
