Sun Aug 26

Departed London mid-morning and drove about an hour to the tiny village of Minster Lovell. We are west of Oxford staying in a 15th c. inn in the heart of the beautiful Cotswolds surrounded by lovely little honey coloured stone cottages. Today was a lovely warm day and after a couple of Oxford pints , we took advantage of it to go on a 6 km walk of the local countryside which brought us to the ruins of Richard III's chamberlain's manse. Our room is top left. We are in Mitford sisters territory and plan to visit their village Swinbrook, the setting of so many of their books and memoirs.
