enchanting
 |
| Castle Combe (Wiltshire), England |
Its amazing the number of enchanting villages that can be found throughout the English countryside. This is just one example of many. Its population numbers a mere 350 people. This tiny town has been used more than once as a backdrop for films, one of which was Steven Spielberg's Warhorse.

the Mad Hatter
 |
| Winchcombe (Gloucestershire), England |
Many people come to Winchcombe to see St. Peter's Church (late 15th century) and its so called gargoyles. They are actually just grotesque carvings since a true gargoyle has a water spout passing through it.
Forty of these carvings surround the church, twenty of which represent demonic creatures while the other twenty appear to be caricatures of locally important people who donated money to the church. The curious figure in this photo is said to be the model for the Mad Hatter in Lewis Caroll's Alice in Wonderland Story.

picture perfect setting
 |
| between Broadway and Snowshill (Gloucestershire), England |
One wonderful thing about driving around the Cotswolds is seeing all the beautiful cottages dotting the countryside. The view facing this house was a long-stretching field of sheep.

decorative doors

| Stanton (Gloucestershire), England |
This town, completely built with Cotswold stone, is a treat for the eyes by all standards, but if you like doors, you will love the visit. Every house offers something unique.

wooly creatures
 |
| between Snowshill and Broadway (Gloucestershire), England |
The Cotswolds DO have many long-wooled sheep! Cotswold wool has been given the name "poor man's mohair" due to its fine quality.
