"Dating from the eighteenth century this village pub of Cotswold Stone is perched on a bank overlooking a small green and war memorial. Located only one mile from the renowned Donnington Brewery this friendly family run, one-bar premises is the focal point of community activity in the village. Flagstone floors and open fire greet locals and visitors alike with the full range of the good value Donnington Ales available along with home cooked food."

And the aroma's coming from the kitchen almost tempted me to abandon my walk and treat myself to dinner.

Great coffee and cake.

Nice little farm shop open Fri/Sat am

Another beauty, Moreton-In-Marsh. Can get busy on the weekend. Mind the traffic and tourists in rental car making unexpected moves.

On the patron saint of this church dedicated to "Saint Lawrence": Saint Laurentius is one of the early Christian martyrs from the third century, a time when Christianity was still forbidden. He was Archdeacon of Pope Sixtus II and, after his martyrdom, asked by the pagan Emperor Valerian to hand over the Church's treasure. Laurentius asked for three days' time, in the meantime he distributed the church property among the poor inhabitants of Rome and, after the agreed time, came with the poor to the emperor in order to present them to him as the church's treasure. He was then martyred to death, legend has it that he was alive on a grate - this attribute can be seen in many depictions of Saint Laurentius - roasted over coals. He is said to have been in good spirits and told his executioner on the one hand he was ready, whether he didn't want to turn him over.

Beautiful old water pump in the heart of Donnington village.

This is the location in which the Battle of Stow took place on the early morning of the 21st of Marsh in 1646. It was the last battle of the First English Civil War.

Take a cream tea or pub lunch here as a starting or finishing point for a hike in the Cotswolds from Oxford.
