The Thames, The Tempest and The Tudor; The Cotswalds

 

The Cotswalds

Evesham, Stratford upon Avon and Oxford


While in the Cotswolds area, we stayed in a caravan in Evesham, facing the River Avon. Evesham was a nice town and was home to some beautiful Tudor homes that had been converted into shops.

We visited Stratford Upon Avon for a day, and fully appreciated the beautiful buildings and quaint feel in the town. The lovely river Avon filled with beautiful Swans made for a lovely place to relax.
 
 




 
 
We had to visit Shakespeares home, which was also an impressive building and held a lot of history.
 
 
 
 
Oxford was a bustling town with a huge main centre. We didn't stay long here, but managed to wander through the main shopping area and do a bit of window shopping. 
 

 







We also wandered down to the River Thames, a beautiful part of the river which was home to many house boats.


 
 
 


 
We took a trip out to Uffington while in the Cotswolds to visit the famous White Horse of Uffington. This stylized figure of a horse is made of white chalk and is said to be dated around 700BC.  We also had some amazing views of Swindon and the surrounds.
