On day 5 we went on a tour of Blenheim Palace (the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill) and the Cotswolds...
This was something that I was VERY excited about.
I couldn't wait to see the old little English cottages peppering the English country side.
Our first stop: Blenheim Palace
The first village we visited was DELIGHTFUL... I fell in love with all of the adorable buildings and the shops.
We then made a stop at Arlington Row, which is in probably the most famous Cotswold village, Bibury.
This is definitely what I think of when I think of English Architecture!
These fences are EVERYWHERE in the Cotswolds. They are close to 900 years old...
And of course you have to walk on a Medieval bridge to complete the experience.
Our last stop was a tiny little village that had about 10 houses, all with thatched roofs and piping chimneys. I felt like I had walked into a scene from the Holiday. We had afternoon tea at a sweet little pub with SOOO much charm.
Definitely one of the highlights of our trip.
