The Venice in Cotswolds

It is impossible to have a full tour of Blenheim palace within just 3-4 hours-the guide book recommends staying overnight.

We won’t as we have to continue our journey to another place which is also the final destination of this weekend escape.

It has been appraised as the prettiest village in England, or is renowned as the Venice in Cotswolds. Located in the Heart of England in Gloucester Shire, close to the border of Oxford Shire, it represents the most heart-breaking beauty and home-dreaming tranquillity of English countryside.

Yes, it is Bourton-on-the-Water, if you know.

River Windrush, part of the River Thames catchment.

A horse was appoaching me, sorry, only got a rice cracker……but anyway, she smelled and walked away, not even a lick, not giving me a face..
I am feeding the horse with a rice cake!

Drinking slowly! I know the weather is hot and the grass is salty. Sheep are indeed sheepish, never approaching people.

The following photos were taken in the modal village, which was built by the local people since 1937. It is a 9:1 replica of Bourton on the water. Even the trees are located in the exact sites where the actual trees stand in the village.
