房源位置

Blockley is a popular village in the Cotswold which is found within a triangle formed by three renowned market towns: Chipping Campden to the North, Moreton-in-Marsh to the South East and Stow-on-the-Wold to the South. Being close to these three towns has led to increased footfall in the village, bringing with it good quality pubs and a lovely village shop/café.
There are plenty of walks across marvellous countryside, including the Monarch’s Way and the Heart of England Way. Blockley lies between Moreton-in-Marsh and Chipping Campden, which have quality shops, pubs and restaurants. Visit Sezincote Gardens, the Cotswold Farm Park, Batsford Arboretum and Falconry Centre and Sudeley Castle. Blockley's award winning shop and Cafe are a 5 minute walk from the cottage. The village pub is also only a short walk away.
Blockley bears some resemblance to the villages of the Stroud valley but the stone much more golden in colour. During the eighteenth century when the wool industry was in decline, cotswold cottages in Blockley turned to silk production. By 1884 six silk mills powered by the fast-flowing Blockley brook provided work for about 600 people preparing silk for ribbon-making factories in Coventry.
This small centre of industry began to decline after 1860 when the levy on imported silk was imposed.
The village of Blockley is a unique collection of buildings reflecting its past glory of mills and silk production and is quite different in character to other north Cotswolds villages.
Blockley also has a historic Norman church, and is the location where the BBC One ‘ Father Brown’ mystery series is filmed.

A car is essential for getting around the area. Public transport is minimal.
