Buscot Park
Buscot Park was laid out in the 1780s in the English Landscape style to provide a naturalistic setting for the late eighteenth century Palladian style house. The famous Water Garden was added in 1904 by Sir Alexander Henderson, later the 1st Lord Faringdon, who commissioned the architect and garden designer Harold Peto to create a link between the house and the Big Lake.

The Heart of the Cotswolds: Bibury
Bibury is a charming Cotswold village just a short drive from The Old Crown and Coaching Inn.
William Morris (1834-96) described Bibury as "the most beautiful village in England". Fox News says that Bibury is one of the world's most picturesque villages, and an article on the Huffington Post website (1st May 2014), titled "The Most Charming Towns In Europe You'll Want To Visit ASAP", mentioned Bibury.
There's no doubt that Bibury is featured on many lists of most beautiful Cotswold villages, and even the most beautiful villages in the UK.
The cottages of Arlington Row are often referred to as the most photographed and beautiful cottages in the country.
Originally built in 1380 as a monastic wool store, the building was then converted into a row of weavers' cottages in the 17th century.
