Visit Lower Slaughter

Lower Slaughter is a village just north of Bourton-on-the-Water and south-east of Stow-on-the-Wold, in the Cotswolds county of Gloucestershire. It is just south of its equally popular neighbour, Upper Slaughter.

Like some of the other Cotswolds villages, Lower Slaughter is exceptionally picturesque, with ancient unspoiled houses in the style traditional to the region, on the banks of the River Eye and set in rolling green countryside.

Visit Lower Slaughter, Cotswolds

It is the whole ensemble that is really the highlight, but take a moment to ensure you have seen:

• Saint Mary Church - some arcades remain from the original 13th century church, but most of St mary's was rebuilt in the sceond half of the 19th century
• The old watermill - with a working waterwheel, and gift shop and tea shop. The path to Upper Slaughter starts next to the mill.

You will also see the Lower Slaughter Manor House, a very impressive 17th century manor house that is now a luxury hotel. Looks like a lovely places to stay!

When to visit Lower Slaughter

If possible it is best to visit the village before 10.30am or late afternoon / early evening, when there are less other visitors and the sun is lower in the sky (the light at that stage improving an already beautiful place). Spring or autumn are also recommended.
