Baddesley Clinton<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Cafe area at Baddesley Clinton<\/a> (National Trust) – a stop off on the way down.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The most striking feature of Baddesley Clinton has to be its moat!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Courtyard.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

(L) Studio and (R) chapel. The Catholic chapel is appropriate since the Ferrers family, who owned the house in the 16th C, were recusants<\/a>, and the house had “priest holes” for hiding Catholic priests.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

St Michael’s, Baddesley Clinton<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Broadway Tower<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Broadway tower<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

(L) View from the tower over the Vale of Evesham, with Broadway<\/a> just at the bottom of the escarpment. (R) Entrance to the Broadway Royal Observation Corp<\/a> post, close by the tower. Part of a network of volunteer-manned observation posts, its role was to report and monitor nuclear explosions during the Cold War. It was closed in 1991.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Garden of the vicarage at Blockley during the barbecue to celebrate the church’s patronal festival (Sts Peter and Paul).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Houses in the impossibly picturesque town of Chipping Campden<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Chedworth<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

(L) Hypocaust<\/a> and (R) mosaics at Chedworth Roman villa<\/a>, one of the largest Roman villas in Britain.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Nymphaeum<\/a> at the villa.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Houses in Chedworth<\/a> village.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

St. Andrew’s church, Chedworth.<\/p>\n
