Bourton-on-the-Water
 Bourton-on-the-Water
is a large and very attractive village just off the Fosse
Way, south of Stow-on-the-Wold. Here the river Windrush flows
beside the road between wide grass verges. The river is crossed
at intervals by several low graceful bridges, some hardly
wider than a footpath. There are many Cotswold cottages and
houses pleasantly positioned among trees, close to the water's
edge.
Behind the Old New Inn is the stone model village, which
is very popular with tourists. Half a mile to the north east
is Salmonsbury Camp, an earthwork which dates from the Bronze
Age.
Bourton-on-the-Water is so popular that, unfortunately, it
sometimes gets overcrowded with visitors.
