Our next Cotswold town is CHIPPING CAMPDEN which has buildings dating back to 14th Century like the Woolstaplers Hall and St James Church.  The Market Hall was built in 1627 and close by is Hidcote Manor Garden dating from 1907 and owned by the National Trust, and Kiftsgate Court Garden 1887/91.

We drive on to MORETON-IN-MARSH with its 16th Century Curfew Tower, 17th Century Redesdale Arms Inn and 18th Century Redesdale Market Hall.  Nearby we could visit Cotswold Falconry Centre & Sezincote Gardens (I couldn't find photos!) and Batsford Park Arboretum

Our next stop will be at UPPER SWELL (no photos) and visit Abbotswood where we can park and walk the short distance to LOWER SWELL (only 1 pic) which has a Norman Church, 16th Century Manor House (now a country house hotel), a 17th Century Inn and an 18th Century School
