LECHLADE-on-THAMES
Lechlade-on-Thames is a small town that is more like a village in character, consisting mainly of pretty 17th and 18th century Cotswold stone properties with the River Thames winding along its southern border. In the spring through to the autumn it attracts many visitors to enjoy both the sleepy pace and the ambling waters of the River Thames. There are many inns, restaurants and antique shops in the town and surrounding areas. It is an ideal base from which to explore this beautiful area of England with its yellow stone houses and wonderful countryside.

WHERE TO EAT
The restaurant in the Lechlade Garden Centre provides excellent light lunches or just coffee and cake, as does the cafe above The Cotswold Wine Merchants in the Market Square.
On a hot summer's day you may prefer a ploughman's of generous proportions, eaten on the lawn at the famous and ancient Trout Inn, while watching men mucking about in small boats on the Thames.

Local attractions:  

• If water activities appeal to you then the Cotswold Water Park is within easy reach with fishing, sailing, windsurfing, jet skiing and even a lakeside beach.
• Roman Cirencester and Chedworth's Roman Villa are only 20 minutes away.
• Wild life at both Cotswold Wild Life Park and the world famous Wildfowl Trust at Slimbridge.
• National Trust houses at Sudeley Castle and Blenheim Palace are well worth a visit.
• At nearby Bourton-on-the-Water, there is plenty to amuse families with Birdland, the Model Village and a perfumery.
• At Northleach there is the Cotswold Heritage Centre and the World of Mechanical Music.
• In addition, we have, of course, Stratford-upon-Avon, (Shakespeare country), Bath, (for the old Roman baths and elegant architecture), and finally, Oxford, (dreaming spires, famous museums and libraries).

Slightly further a field:  

• A two-hour spin in the car 'South' will access the pleasures of the coast. Bournmouth with its sandy beaches. Historic Southhampton and Portsmouth. Visit Nelsons Flagship 'Victory' and see the naval dockyards and even Henry VIII's flagship - the recently raised 'Mary Rose'.
• Travel 'West' for 2 hours and the delights of Bristol await. Visit Brunel' s Great Eastern Steamship, wander round the old Dock area and sample one of the many delightful restaurants.
• Finally, drive 'East' and the delights of London awaits, shopping, theatre, galleries, restaurants.
