We’ve lost count of the number of times we’ve visited the gardens and house. Deer roam free on the grounds with the Avon running through, Charlecote provides a great place to visit, grab a coffee and bite to eat or even your own picnic when the weather is good! There’s even a small garden centre over the road if you fancy buying something to take home.

Easy to find on the outskirts of Snowshill, with beautiful far reaching views over the Cotswolds. The lavender fields should start to come into flower mid June, with the best time to see them early-mid July but it can differ year to year with the weather. There’s cafe there for drinks and cake, make sure to take plenty of pictures!
