"The Bell is an eighteenth-century inn on the western side of the High Street. It was regularly visited by author J.R.R. Tolkeinduring his early years at the University of Oxford. The inn has been attributed as inspiration for 'The Prancing Pony' which features in The Lord of the Rings (1954–1955)." Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moreton-in-Marsh

A fantastic, quirky, ancient building steeped in history with lots of nooks and crannies to explore. A lovely courtyard for the summer and a crackling inglenook fireplace for autumn and winter. I've stayed in the hotel, had drinks in the bar(s) and dined in the restaurant and I can recommend a visit if you are in the area.

"The White Hart Royal Hotel in Moreton-in-Marsh, a splendid tapestry woven through centuries of English history. Nestled at the crossroads of the ancient Fosse Way and the route from London to Worcester, this famed inn has stood as a silent witness to the ebb and flow of time. Originally known as The White Hart, its most illustrious guest was none other than King Charles I, who sought refuge here twice during the English Civil War, in 1644 and 1645. These visits, once the stuff of local legend, were substantiated by a rare 17th-century diary discovered in the Huntington Library, confirming the monarch’s stays during those tumultuous times.  The inn’s prominence grew with the advent of the turnpike roads in the 18th century, becoming a vital coaching stop."

"The building is a Grade II listed, 17th-century coaching inn on Moreton-in-Marsh's High Street, formerly known as the Unicorn Inn. It was renamed the Redesdale Arms in 1886 to honor the late Earl Redesdale. As The Unicorn Inn, the building was an important coaching inn from at least 1661. The name was changed to the Redesdale Arms in 1886 in memory of John Thomas Freeman-Mitford, the Earl Redesdale, who died in 1886. He was the grandfather of the famous Mitford sisters. The building is made of Cotswold stone with an oak-beamed interior." Source: AI Summary I've stayed at the hotel, drank at the bar and dined in the restaurant. Highly recommended. Good food, great atmosphere. It may be worth booking in advance for the restaurant especially at weekends and during the summer. Moreton in Marsh is popular with tourists all year round.

Great place for a lovely breakfast. The coffee is good too.

"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." Source: https://whatpub.com/pubs/NCO/0322/coach-horses-longborough#google_vignette I didn't venture into the pub but as I passed it certainly seemed to be popular with early evening crowd. And the aroma's coming from the kitchen almost tempted me to abandon my walk and treat myself to dinner.

A hidden gem within the beautiful village of Blockley. Follow the public footpath on a short detour off the High Street. The babbling brook can be heard but not seen from several places but if you take the path behind the houses it breaks cover for a short distance.

I grew up near Blockley . It has changed a fair bit. But as a place to go walking it's excellent. The better walking involves some hills!!. There's a good cafe there. The walk up Dovedale is beautiful. The church is used for the filming of Fr Brown.

Great coffee and cake.

St Michael and All Angels Church was built in 1868 by the 2nd Earl of Gainsborough in memory of his father. It is a Grade II listed building. Source: Wikipedia

The church in Blockley was dedicated to the two Saints PETER & PAUL, also known as the "Prince of the Apostles". Their common feast day in the calendar of saints is June 29th for all major denominations. * Simon, nicknamed Peter (Rock), was a fisherman on Lake Genesareth when he was called by Jesus Christ to be a "fisher of men" together with his brother Andrew. In works of fine art, Peter is almost always depicted with two keys in his hand; this attribute refers to the Bible verse in Matthew: "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." (Chapter 16, Verse 19). * Paul was initially an opponent of the Christian movement and was not called to the apostleship by Jesus Christ during his lifetime like the other apostles, but was only converted later with the famous "Damascus experience". His attribute is the sword with which he was executed. According to the Roman law of the time, such a sentence was a "privilege" (quick death and not, like other forms of execution, a long, painful death struggle) that was reserved for the citizens of Rome.
