With things opening up again in the Cotswolds we're back with a new batch of town and village guides on the blog, starting with one of the area's most popular spots, beautiful Bourton-on-the-Water. Known as the 'Venice of the Cotswolds' due to the many bridges that cross the River Windrush as it flows through the village centre, Bourton is one of the most picturesque villages in the Cotswolds. If you’re planning a visit, our local expert Jess shares all her favourite spots in our latest post [link in bio].

The sun’s out and we’re back out exploring the Cotswolds! First stop was Sudeley Castle, whose gardens have been taken over by 30 life-sized elephant sculptures until 31 May. The Elephant Family are here to raise awareness for conservation projects before heading off to London and onwards on a world tour. You need to pre-book to visit, with tickets available a couple of weeks in advance 🐘

Woke up to a snowy winter wonderland in Cheltenham

Woke up to a snowy winter wonderland in Cheltenham this morning and couldn’t resist a chilly walk - more pics on our stories but this was the Cheltenham College chapel looking beautiful surrounded by snow-dusted trees.

The first snowdrops are a sign spring is on the way – and add a bit of brightness to a winter day (something we could all do with right now!). Although restrictions mean we can’t travel far from home, there are plenty of places to see snowdrops in the Cotswolds, and our latest post shares some of our local favourite snowdrop spots.

Winter in Castle Combe > This village in the Wilts

Winter in Castle Combe > This village in the Wiltshire Cotswolds is a beauty at any time of year, but in winter you might even get this classic view of the By Brook and packhorse bridge to yourself. If you’re planning a visit our latest local’s guide is all about Castle Combe (hot cider and a visit to the decorated trees in the church are my winter tips!).

I'm making the most of these beautiful, crisp autumn mornings with a trip into Cheltenham planned for today.

The three of us are off to see @cheltenhammaman and sing some songs with @babel_babies at #mamangoespop (and possibly start some Christmas shopping too) followed by a sprint to @johnlewisandpartners for a few little bits and bobs. If Harry sleeps well, then a hot chocolate @thefindchelt is on my list too! 🍁🍂☕ What's on your to-do list today? 💛
