Visit Bourton on the Water

Visit Bourton on the Water, a town known affectionately as the Venice of the Cotswolds.

Bourton has a number of tourist attractions:

The River Windrush runs through the middle of the village, in landscaped setting and is spanned by several small but very attractive road and footbridges.

The model village is an exact 1:10 replica of the village and includes a model of the model village itself (a model within a model).

The Model Railway.

The Cotswold Motor Museum (home of Brum).

Birdland, an ornithological theme park, which is a collection of a wide variety of birds, from penguins through parrots to passerine (perching) birds. Children can feed the large fish. There are regular bird-of-prey displays.

The Dragonfly Maze

Visit Bourton on the Water on the fourth Sunday of each month when there is a farmers' market.

A pedestrian bridge across the River Windrush at Bourton-on-the-Water.

Long distance walks start, finish or pass through Bourton-on-the-Water. One such route that begins its 100-mile route north is the Heart of England Way.
