Built between 1654 and 1953, the bridges link the quaint village streets built from golden Cotswold stone together. Bourton-on-the-Water is one of the most popular towns in the Cotswolds for good reason: it has many historical sites, great cafes, and attractions.

Very picturesque but touristy village. Worth a visit but personally I decided to cycle on through.
