Bourton on the Hill is positioned mid-way between the larger village of Blockley and the more traditional market town of Moreton-in-Marsh where there are railway links for London Paddington. The village is blessed with beautiful walks in the surrounding countryside past the 18th century Sezincote House and the delightful Batsford Arboretum which has stunning views over the Evenlode Valley. Only 100 yards from the cottage is the renowned Horse and Groom pub and hostelry and there is a small Budgens supermarket and garage at the top of the hill. The famous market towns of Stow-on-the-Wold (5 miles), Chipping Campden (4 miles) and Broadway (4 miles) are some of the most famous towns in the North Cotswolds all only a short drive away.
