|
| The
Place |
| Probably
the most popular village in the Cotswolds, and often referred
to as the Venice of the Cotswolds because the River Windrush
runs right through the centre. The combination of
this clear sparkling water and the attractive low bridges
crossing it create a charming scene, best enjoyed in the
quieter times of day and quieter months of the year.

|
|
Bourton has many visitor attractions, suitable for visitors
of all ages. Its tourism promotion has grown around
the Model Village (a mini replica of the village itself) opened
in 1937, and Birdland, opened ten years later. St. Lawrence's
church is of several periods, and is notable for its domed
tower, unique in the Cotswolds. Salmonsbury Meadows
has recently been saved as a wildlife reserve, and the Iron
Age site of Salmonsbury Camp can be traced in outline.
