  • 1. Chastleton House

    One of the most complete Jacobean properties in Britain opts for a beguilingly lived-in appearance, taking advantage of almost 400 years' worth of furniture and trappings accumulated by many generations of the single family that owned it until 1991. The house was built between 1605 and 1612 for William Jones, a wealthy wool merchant, and has an appealing authenticity: bric-a-brac is strewn around, wood and pewter are unpolished, upholstery is uncleaned. The top floor is a glorious, barrel-vaulted long gallery, and throughout the house you can see exquisite plasterwork, paneling, and tapestries. The gardens include rotund topiaries and the first croquet lawn (the rules of croquet were codified here in 1865). During busy periods, admission is by timed ticket on a first-come, first-served basis. Note that there is no tearoom or shop here, but the church next door sells tea and snacks when the house is open. Chastleton is 6 miles northeast of Stow, signposted off A436 between Stow and A44.

  • 2. Cotswold Farm Park

    The family-run Cotswold Farm Park is the best family day out in the Cotswolds, and an excellent showcase for British farming. In addition to meeting the animals, including the iconic Suffolk Punch horses, there are wildlife and woodland walks, outdoor and indoor playgrounds, and viewing towers and platforms to climb. At the Muddy Kitchen, all the kitchen appliances and utensils are provided to help make your very best mud pie. The park's Ox Shed restaurant and farm shop sell delicious food from local suppliers, and you can stay on-site in a lodge, camping pod, or luxury glamping tent. Cotswold Farm Park is 6 miles west of Stow-on-the-Wold in Guiting Power.
