Adlestrop, set in rural Gloucestershire, was immortalised in one of Britain’s favourite poems by Edward Thomas,

‘I remember Adlestrop…’. The poem is celebrated with a colourful Millennium Mural in the Village Hall. The village is also famous for its Jane Austen connections – she was a frequent visitor when her uncle was Rector there. The Old Rectory, where she stayed, is opposite the medieval church.

How to get there: Adlestrop is situated about three miles from Stow in the Wold and 6 miles from Chipping Norton – just half a mile off the A436
Entrance £3.00 per Adult – Children free –  Free Car Park
