    Painswick 8-34 - A beautiful village with a lot of history, there is still damage to the church tower from 16 ct civil war cannon. behind the church is the old court house, King Charles 1st stayed there on his way back to London after the relief oof the siege of Gloucester. Opposite the church is a very small 15 ct Tudor beamed shop, this is said to be the very first post office in the UK during the reign of King Henry 8th .

    • @MacSarah

      Thats a good question, some are more accessible than others I'd say, smaller villages like Castle Combe and Lower Slaughter are perhaps not as easy to access in public transport. However I think there are quite a few companies who would do guided tours, maybe by coach or minibus. It's definitely worth looking into, you guys would love The Cotswolds. Thanks for watching!

      I agree that they're popular but it does depend on time of year. When we visited it wasn't over crowded and I think that the local economies and job rely on tourism, so we mustn't try to deter people. However, I would say that ways of sustainably managing visitors would be good
