Stow in the Wold


Stow in the Wold is a delightful small town in the Cotswolds - we visited on our way back from a weekend in Gloucester. It's a junction town - where seven major roads meet - including the Roman road, the Fosse Way (which runs from Exeter to Lincoln).

We visited the Porch House, said to be the oldest pub in England. An inn has stood on this site since 975, and timber in some of the beams were radio-carbon dates to within 50 years of 1000 AD.

If you are thinking of visiting this lovely town, it is worth visiting the Cotswolds.info website. It's in our plans for a longer visit in 2017.
