Description
The village is known for its exceptional unspoilt beauty and for the views over
the Severn Vale to the west. Charmingly set near the Worcestershire border, the
Cotswolds rise to over 900ft around the village on three sides. An ancient road
called Buckle Street crosses the parish. Snowshill Manor, owned by the National
Trust, is a beautiful Cotswold building set in picturesque gardens, and contains
a fantastic collection of toys, musical instruments, clocks, bicycles and samurai
armour all collected by the late Sir Charles Wade. The beautiful cottage garden
is a lively mix of architectural features, bright colours and delightful scents.
