Typical English Village









This excursion was taken on Saturday, October 22nd. I absolutely love all the villages throughout the country. It would be easy to spend all day just wandering around enjoying the ambiance.

Bourton-on-the-Water is a fairly typical English village. If you click here, you will be linked to a map of Bourton so you can get an idea of where it is in the country. You can zoom in and out from the left of the map screen. If you zoom out and locate Stratford, that's the proximity of where Solihull is (where Lana & Rob live).

Most of the homes that were on the main streets of these villages have been converted into hotels, restaurants or gift shops. Notice how narrow some of the streets are? It's not uncommon for side view mirrors to get damaged in traffic... and, of course, they drive on the wrong side of the street!

Remember, you can enlarge the photos by clicking on them.
