STOW ON THE WOLD

Bourton-on-the-Water 4 miles; Stratford upon Avon 15 miles.

At 800 feet, Stow is the highest town in the Cotswolds. Its Royal Charter was granted in 1107 and it has been an important Cotswold crossroads for a thousand years, with 8 roads intersecting here! Like so many Cotswold towns, it owes its original prosperity to wool. The twice yearly Stow Fair is still held in May and October and the annual Stow Horse Fair is a spectacularly large event, when the town sees numerous horses being bought and sold. The traditional stone Cotswold square, pubs and tearooms, antiques shops and hotels jostle for space, and running off the square are various narrow alleys and courts that contain charming unspoiled old buildings.
