The Sunday Times
out and about in the cotswolds
If you’re
staying with us in Bledington, the first thing you’ll want to do
is explore the area immediately around the Inn. Our village has a population
of just a few hundred and is extremely picturesque. It won’t take
you long to become acquainted with the ducks from the River Evenload,
who are as much a part of the village as the local residents.
Beautiful Walks - along the Oxfordshire Way. You can get a sheet of walks
from The King's Head Inn or pick up the Explorer Walks leaflet from Stow
Tourist Office.
