Peaceful Cotswold village and everyone smiles or speaks. Really friendly.

"Stanton is a village and civil parish in Tewkesbury Borough, Gloucestershire, England. The village is a spring line settlement at the foot of the Cotswold escarpment, about 2.5 miles (4 km) southwest of Broadway in neighbouring Worcestershire. Broadway is Stanton's postal town.  Its highest point is Shenberrow Hill on the escarpment in the southeast of the parish, 994 feet (303 m) above sea level. The low-lying northwestern part of the parish is bounded mostly by two streams" Source: Wikipedia

I finished my walk with dinner at the Mount Inn. Disposable covers are issued free to hikers to cover up your muddy boots. That's my 'blue' covered boot in the photo. I wasn't sure whether I was being shown to my table or to the scene of a murder 😁 The staff were warm, friendly, attentive and welcoming. Pippa is absolutely lovely. My meal was delicious. It was served piping hot and there was plenty of it. The views from the terrace are fantastic and would probably be even better on a sunny summers evening. I will definitely visit again.

"It is believed that a church was built on this site in the year 1100. However, it is believed to be possible that a Saxon church on the present site was served in early times by the monks of Winchcombe Benedictine Abbey, as the Manor, tithes and patronage of Stanton were bestowed on the Abbey by Kenulf, King of Mercia in 811 AD. A wonderful, ancient and historic church." Source: Wikipedia
