It has a very interesting history and has had to adapt to changing times as you will discover by watching my video.

Thanks for highlighting the Cotswolds. Lots of exciting places to visit
@@richardsoper777 Yes. Do come and visit us.
( : GREATLY DONE : )
@@forestgreen916 Thank you very much. I hope that you enjoy all the other videos that I have recorded about places around Gloucestershire.
Your commentary was very interesting. Thank you from Australia. Well, I remember my early life in Gloucestershire (the Forest of Dean in my case. Now, having long settled in Australia, I wonder why more isn't being done to promote the history of Gloucester? On my last visit - about 15 years ago - this once proud city with so much proud history looked dismal and anything but proud.
Anne, your work is well researched and your knowledge is an inspiration to my travelling mind! Thank you for another lovely informative piece of work.
Thank you very much MusaA. I have just uploaded two more videos. One about the Cotswold village of Broadway and the other about the Village of Stanway which I hope you will enjoy.
Thank you Anne for another lovely researched and informative tour!
Thank you. Have you visited Broadway on your travels?
Thankfully, the statues on the church have been reinstated since this video was made.
Nice place.. soon to be decimated and torn to shreds by people who travel in inflatable boats ..shame
Oh this was so nice to see Cheltham- I’m a New Zealander but lived there for 5 years in my teens. Had a part time job at Cavendish house, remember the clock that blows bubbles and many summers at Pitville Park, the annual Bluebird Ball held at the town hall.
Thank you so much for your comments. I’m very glad you enjoyed my video about Cheltenham and that it prompted fond memories.
Lovely video. I hiked this section of the Cotswold Way in September 2021; it was my first visit to the Cotswolds. I loved every minute of my 3 day walk on the Way. I thought this section is very interesting due to the village of Stanway. The Gatehouse is very impressive. I looked for the Stanway Mill but didn't see any signs. Thanks to your video I now know. I plan to walk the entire Cotswolds Way in Fall 2025. Carry on!
Hi @@ceparksromanceharps It’s great to hear how much you enjoyed your walk in September 2021. Wishing you all the very best for your return visit in 2025.
Great vid 👍
Thank you very much @@gazzertrn
Absolutely lovely! Thanks for the tour.
Thank you very much @@MusaA I’m so glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you . Very interesting.
Thank you Steve, I’m so glad you enjoyed the video and are able to visit our historic city and spot the locations that I included in my RUclips.
I’m finding the sound too quiet
Hi. Thank you for choosing to watch my video on Moreton-in-Marsh. I’m sorry that you can’t hear it too well on your device. If you watch RUclips via the TV you will be able to adjust the sound better.
Greetings from malta thanks for the video i have been to glouester 5 times but its been a while since i visit this town so i appreciate it very much . Thanks for your information given
It was lovely to hear that you’ve visited Gloucester a number of times and that you’ve enjoyed watching this video about the historic docks. I hope that you visit us again soon. I enjoyed a fabulous holiday in Malta last year and I was amazed at its incredible history and heritage. I look forward to re visiting your country again.
Thank you. its been a while since the last post. :)
It has Kian. My apologies. I’m planning the next video but have to work on it around running my guiding business. Thank you very much for keeping in touch and liking this and my previous videos.
I live in Campden and my family has been here for centuries, you did a great job Anne, probably the best tour on YT for Chipping Campden. Well done.
Thank you very much indeed @smokingLaddy. I'm very envious of you living in such a beautiful town.
Fascinating history. Very interesting indeed.
Thank you so much @bluebrakes, I'm glad you enjoyed the video
As a teenager I lived near Campden and, now abroad, often return. It puzzles me how Campden is less popular than many other Cotswolds sites, like Broadway for example. Is there a better High Street in the Cotswolds? Combined with other nearby attractions like Dover’s Hill and the gardens at Hidicote and Kiftsgate why go elsewhere?
Thank you for watching my video and your comment. I quite agree, Chipping Campden is a lovely town to explore.
It needs a bypass badly. The place is a racket from dawn to dusk. Don’t know how anyone there can stand it.
A very interesting and exceptionally well presented tour of Tewkesbury. Thank you so much.
🏆🏆🌞👍
Thank you very much @daghusebye5041. Do you know Chipping Campden or are you planning to visit the Cotswold town whilst you are on holiday. I hope you enjoy my other videos about Cotswold towns and villages.
Thanks for this lovely video!
Thank you Stuart. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I hope that the video will entice you to visit Cirencester one day and explore it yourself.
I visited Burford on my first trip to England in 1993. Thirty years later my memories of that charming, beautiful village are as clear as if it were yesterday. I stayed at the Golden Pheasant, visited the church, and heard the organist play while he practiced. Lovely town, lovely people!
I love Tewkesbury I go there on holiday
Hi Jacob I agree, Tewkesbury is a great place to take a holiday. There is an excellent caravan site, a marina for keen boaters, as well as hotels, self catering appartments, guest houses and B&B's. There is plenty to see and do in the town which has a variety of cafes, restaurants, museums and a theatre / cinema. There are many interesting, pretty, historic and cultural places to visit in the wider region. Have a great time there during your next holiday.
Thanks anne
Thank you Anne!!! New subscriber. Moving to Cheltenham soon. Lovely information and video. 💐💐💐💐
Hi Aneka I hope your move to Cheltenham goes well. It is a very attractive town with lots happening. I’m sure that you will settle in very quickly.
Thank you so much for this lovely video, you've done a great job. I have a question which I hope you can help with. My wife and I shall be there from October 3rd to 7th, 2022 staying at the Sunny Nest B&B. What I would like to know, which are the best restaurants or pub restaurants to have an evening meal with LIVE MUSIC playing as we eat. This would be the evenings of Oct 3rd-6th. I always find that this would be such useful information on these videos. What can you recommend please? Thank you.
Hi John Thank you very much for your comments, I'm glad to hear that you found my videos useful. The venues that I know about have live music at the weekend and I notice that your holiday in the Cotswolds is from Monday to Thursday. You can check out Stroud Brewery and Tap Room. Smokey Joes in Cheltenham and Cafe Rene, Gloucester but I'm not sure that your dates will coincide with their music nights.
@@AnneBartlett Thank you.
Check out the Corinium Museum. It's AMAZING!
Yes, I visit the museum from time to time and it is really interesting with impressive displays from pre-history through to modern times.
Wonderful video Anne, thank you. Both of my paternal grandparents were from Bourton on the Water and their family names are on the war memorial by the river and in the church. My great aunt owned a cottage called Flories Cottage, where my father was evacuated to from London in WWII. I was last there about three years ago and the name plate has now gone from the cottage. My grandmother went to school in the village with the actor Wilfred Hyde-White, whose father was the vicar of the church and christened my father.
I'm very glad that you enjoyed the video. What great connections you have to the very attractive village. It is very popular with tourists and I visit Bourton-on-the-Water on a regular basis.
I just found your informative videos and am enjoying them immensely as I watch two every evening (near Philadelphia). I am just now planning a trip to Oxford and London and will plan my day trips from Oxford to several of these places.
I’m so glad you are enjoying the videos. It is great to hear that you will be visiting us very soon. I hope that you have a lovely holiday.
Excellent description.Thanks so much .
I had a restaurant in water moor st back in the 80s winstons I love the Cotswolds I still visit
Thank you for your comments and for following my RUclips channel. Cirencester is a great place and clearly a great town in which to have had your restaurant business. I’m sure you have many very happy memories. No doubt you will have seen quite a lot of changes in the intervening years.
love the detail, many thank from Taiwan
Thank you Craig. I hope you will be able to visit the Cotswolds and enjoy them in person one day.
Hey, I hope you are well. I have seen all videos. Very well. I appreciate your work. I want to connect with you & i have sent an email by ifthekar robin, kindly check it out. and waiting for your reply. Thanks
Thank you very much for your comments.
We are visiting this place tomorrow. Thanks for the info.
I hope you have a very enjoyable day in Moreton-in-Marsh.
Tremendously good, it avoids the tedious walk down one side of the street and back along the other, which is such a feature of Moreton. Concentrating on inns and the Fire Station College, also starting with lots of green, is brilliant, except for the first bit with the long information talk at the railway station. It may seem logical like that, but it would have been better left to the end.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the video about Moreton-in-Marsh. Thank you very much for your comments. I understand what you are saying however, I’m trying to promote sustainable tourism, as well as show off these beautiful towns and villages to curious travellers.
@@AnneBartlett People won't watch it at all if they don't like the beginning. It has just dawned on me that, not only does this town have my father's surname (see on my channel), but you have my mother's surname (Don't worry, I don't use it on the internet as a password). Are you descended from Gregory Bartlett, who died in 1680 in Lingfield, Surrey ? If so, we are related !
I find your videos very informative i visited many of the places but i am still learnig a lot greetings from malta
Greetings to you in Malta. I’m delighted to hear that you’ve already visited the Cotswolds and that you’ve enjoyed seeing them again by watching my videos.
Love your videos thank you😀 would love to see more.
👍Thank you Elaine. Another video will be published soon.
Excellent guide to Chipping Campden! Thank you! We look forward to visiting is just a few months!
Thank you for your lovely comments Mike. Have a very enjoyable visit.
Yay! Another video from Anne!! Always a joy to watch. Thank you for this brilliant content.
Thank you Catherine. I’m so glad you enjoyed the video about Burford. It’s a beautiful town with a lot of character.
Interesting. My curiosity is, I am surprised the streets are as wide as they are. You would have thought, if this layout was decided in medieval times, that the streets would be rather narrow, but I see many that are quite wide, even by today's standards. Thanks, - Jeff
Hi Jeff Thank you very much for your comment. I'm no expert, but I've discovered that Burford was granted one of the earliest market charters in the country during the late 11th or early 12th century by Robert Fitzhamon Earl of Gloucester, a relation of William the Conqueror. Around that time Burford, was carefully planned and burgage plots were allocated for homes and workplaces to be built fronting onto the market place. The High Street was left wide to allow for temporary stalls to be set up along the middle of the street allowing people and carts to pass either side during its weekly market and annual fairs. The local burgesses were quick to take advantage of the commercial opportunities that came their way. Burford’s market and location on the packhorse route to and from coastal ports made it an important and wealthy medieval town.
@@AnneBartlett Ohh that makes sense! The story of High Street is definitely the answer. Thanks for the response! Cheers.
Anne make so more videos on cheltenham. Thanks
Hi Pestopizza Thank you so much, I'm delighted to hear that you are particularly interested in hearing more about Cheltenham. I am busy creating videos about other towns and villages at the moment, however, I have an idea for another one on Cheltenham so will work on that one when I have some free time. in the meantime, thank you for watching my videos.
Hii anne, Im gonna masters in Royal Agri university at cirencester. Could you please tell me , is there any part time jobs available ?!
Hi Aswin. Congratulations. The Royal Agri University is a great Uni in a very attractive town. At the moment there is horse racing at Cheltenham. They will need extra staff during race meetings.
Thank you! So much
Hi mam nice vlog amazing from India?
Thank you so much Sarba.
I'm doing research for a trip to the Cotswolds with friends next Spring. These videos are very helpful and enjoyable. I hope Anne will continue making them!
Thank you so much for your comments. I’m very glad that you are finding these videos helpful as well as enjoyable. I have other bits of film ready but I’m busy meeting holidaymakers to show them around so I’m kept very busy. It is finding enough time to complete further videos. I expect things to calm down next month so keep a look out for the next one.
What a lovely part of the world and what a fantastic introduction to the area. Thank you for another wonderful video.
Lovely video and I'm so glad I found it. I stayed at The Royal Hop Pole in Tewksbury in the early 90's when I was a teenager.
Thank you so much Amy, I'm glad that you enjoyed the video. I hope that you will come back to visit Tewkesbury again sometime soon. During the summer people can book a guided walk around the town and discover a bit more of its amazing history and heritage.
My wife and I will be spending time in the Cotswold in Sept/Oct 2022. I really enjoy your videos. I had been watching the “Cotswold Explorer” but came away frustrated as he gives minimal information about the various towns he visits. Looking forward to seeing your video about Broadway. Thanks for your efforts and enjoyable prospective on these towns.
Thank you very much David. I'm really glad that you enjoyed the videos and found them useful. I'm sure that you and your wife will have an enjoyable holiday in the Cotswolds next autumn.
Look up MEMORYSEEKERS
I have visited Cheltenham on numerous occasions , once to visit the cricket festival and in other occasions as an overnight stop before flying from Birmingham airport .
It's lovely to hear that you have visited Cheltenham. The cricket festival is one of the highlights of the towns social calendar. It is played on the grounds of Cheltenham College which is a perfect setting. I hope that you enjoyed my video about Regency Cheltenham. I expect that your overnight stop before travelling on to Birmingham airport doesn't give you much chance to explore the town properly. I have produced another video about the northern part of Cheltenham called Explore Pittville. ruclips.net/video/y2y8CROHTB0/видео.html It's an attractive suburb of Cheltenham but was originally built as a rival spa town.
Really nice Anne! I know there's an arboretum near Tetbury. Does it worth a visit?
Thank you Eugenio. I'm really pleased that you enjoyed my video on Tetbury. There is a fabulous arboretum at Westonbirt near Tetbury. What is really special is the treetop walkway which gives you a different perspective of the trees. I bought an annual membership this year so that I could visit as many times as I liked. I hope that you enjoy your visit as much as I have mine.
Excelent video. I'll visit it in my next trip as a day excursion from Bath
Thank you Eugenio. I'm glad that you enjoyed the video and I'm sure that you'll have a very enjoyable day out in Cirencester.
❤️❤️💖💖
Thank you very much Leslie. Glad you loved the video.
