A thriving market town in the Cotswolds, Moreton-in-Marsh still holds a market every Tuesday. The town has been hosting travellers for at least 1,700 years and many inns, pubs and hotels still welcome visitors today. Built from typical golden Cotswold stone, the town has a pretty 18th century high street and many historic buildings. You can even visit a pub where King Charles I sheltered during the English Civil war – the White Hart. They have a copy of his unpaid bill in the entrance lobby.

Other famous visitors to the town include J. R. R. Tolkien, author of the Lord of the Rings trilogies. The Bell Inn supposedly inspired Middle Earth's pub the Prancing Pony.

Moreton-in-marsh was a lovely Victorian coaching town that is now a car park.

Where once a wide open high street allowed cafes, pubs, and shops to spill out onto the street, now residents line up their rangerovers side-by-side, flanking either side of an extremely busy road that disects the town.

Liner village with a large open market (not sure what days I'm afraid) that is worth a browser around
