A serene evening at Cotsworld

#gloucestershire #cotswold #naturalwonders #heritage
On my recent trip to the Cotswolds, I found myself wandering through some of the most enchanting places I’ve ever seen. My first stop was Arlington Row in Bibury, just as the evening light was softening over the cottages. The honey-coloured stone glowed warmly, and with the River Coln trickling nearby, the whole scene felt almost frozen in time. It was quiet, peaceful, and I could easily see why it’s one of the most photographed spots in England.

Later, I made my way to St. Edward’s Church in Stow-on-the-Wold, drawn by its famous doorway framed by ancient yew trees. In the fading daylight, the trees looked almost like guardians wrapped around the arched door. Inside, the church carried centuries of history, but it was that doorway that truly captured my imagination.

Just a short walk away, the Market Cross stood at the heart of Stow. Now, it’s lined with welcoming tea rooms and shops that give the town a gentle charm.

The Cotswold district as a whole left me with the feeling of stepping into another era. Rolling hills, golden-stone villages, and a slower pace of life. Visiting in the evening made it all feel even more magical, like a place that doesn’t quite belong to the modern world.
