Known for its picturesque High Street and serene riverside views, it's one of the most popular tourist spots in the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village is flanked by the tranquil River Windrush, over which several low, arched stone bridges span, contributing to the 'Venetian' comparison. The honey-coloured Cotswold stone buildings that line the river, housing a plethora of shops, cafes and inns, provide a charming backdrop to the winding waterway.
