Local Attractions, Old Manse Hotel, Bourton-on-the-Water

There are lots of things to do in the village, and in the surrounding Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, all year round. Within a short walk, you'll find the Model Village, Birdland, Cotswold Motor Museum, and lots of little independent shops and cafés. Further afield you can visit National Trust properties Hidcote, Chastleton House and Gardens, Snowshill Manor or Buscot Park. Or why not view the unfinished splendour of Grade I listed Victorian Gothic Woodchester Mansion? Regency Cheltenham is always worth a visit. And of course, it's only a 30-minute drive to the home of National Hunt racing, Cheltenham Racecourse. For beautiful plants visit Batsford Arboretum or Kiftsgate Gardens, while you can see giraffes, rhinos, lemurs and much more at Cotswold Wildlife Park.
