An archetypal Cotswold village, Bourton-on-the-Water's mix of pretty cottages and honey-coloured brick houses give it an undeniable charm. Delightful arched bridges span the River Windrush, the small river responsible for giving Bourton its 'Venice of the Cotswolds' tag.

The ancient Roman road, the Fosse Way, travels through the village and it is also that start point for the Oxfordshire Way long-distance trail to Henley-on-Thames.

Bourton-on-the-Water is a village in the county of Gloucestershire (County) in England in the scenic Cotswolds area. The small town lies in a flat valley and is characterized by the small river Windrush and the small railless bridge arches and the very beautiful stone houses.

Smaller circular routes but also longer distances have their starting point and end point in Bourton-on-the-Water. See: Cotswolds Walks - gps-routes.co.uk/routes/home.nsf/national-parks-walks/walking-in-the-cotswolds

Also recommended are the many nice little shops, the duck race with rubber ducks is great fun as well as the labyrinth Dragonfly Maze. Not to forget: The Model Village with a replica of the village - of course including the Model Village. So Model Village in Model Village, again with Model Village, etc., etc. :)
