The beautiful village is the home of Batsford Arboretum, Falconry and Garden Centre, Bourton House Garden and the Sezincote Estate all open to the public, Batsford throughout the year.

The Horse & Groom, the village pub at the top of the hill, provides a warm welcome with a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere – log fires in the winter and a landscaped garden with far-reaching Cotswold views in the warmer months. The food and wine is exceptional, being sourced from local suppliers and is sought after for miles around.

The ancient market town of Moreton-in-Marsh is situated on the Roman Fosse Way and is on the main line railway from London Paddington (1 hour 20 mins). It grew up in the thirteenth century as a market town with a wide main street, narrow burgage plots and back lanes and there still is a busy market each Tuesday.

Many popular Cotswold villages such as Stow-on-the-Wold, Bourton-on-the-Water, Chipping Campden and Burford are a short drive from the cottage. Cheltenham, Cirencester, Stratford-upon-Avon (Shakespeare’s birthplace), Oxford with its dreaming spires and Evesham where many famous varieties of applies are grown, are a little further afield and the ancient Roman City of Bath is an ideal place to visit for a day. The famous gardens of Hidcote Manor are nearby just over the Warwickshire border as is Sudeley Castle in Winchcombe. Information on the many places to visit can be found in the cottage and there is a tourist information centre in Moreton-in-Marsh.
