1/25, Monday, Cotswolds

Today was a tour of the Cotswolds, starting with Rollright Stones a short distance from the hotel. This is another ancient stone circle, not as famous as the others and off the beaten path.

Then on to a unique sight in the vast fields of the Cotswolds called the Broadway Tower. This folly was completed in 1798.

It is perched on a high hill in the countryside called "beacon" hill that over looks a pre-medieval trading route.

Although you see lush green fields everywhere, the land is not the greatest for growing crops. We were told it is full of the small rocks that are used to build the stone fences that seem to go for miles. Instead of crops, we've seen quite of few sheep.

The place we are staying is called the Coach and Horses. It has a neat little pub.
