My Actifit Report Card: October 11 2025

4 months ago

Oh, my last walk was absolutely delightful! I explored the picturesque Cotswolds, a region known for its charming stone villages and rolling hills. Starting from the quaint village of Bourton-on-the-Water, I strolled along the River Windrush, which was bubbling gently over the stones. The iconic low bridges and beautiful footbridges made it feel like I was walking through a postcard!

As I walked, I couldn’t help but notice the stunning honey-coloured limestone buildings that are characteristic of the area. Each house had its unique charm, adorned with flowering gardens which were in full bloom. I stopped at a lovely little café by the river for a traditional cream tea, where I met a group of friendly locals who shared stories of the village’s history. They told me about the famous Model Village, a miniature replica of Bourton-on-the-Water built in the 1930s, and how it’s a beloved attraction for both children and adults.

Continuing my walk, I ventured onto the nature trails that wound through the lush countryside. I saw sheep grazing peacefully and even spotted a few wildflowers, which added splashes of colour to the greenery. There’s something truly serene about the landscape there—it feels almost timeless.

On my way back, I passed by the scenic Upper Slaughter, where I couldn’t resist capturing the beauty of the old stone mill on the riverbank. I had a lovely chat with a couple of hikers, who were also keen history enthusiasts. We exchanged our favourite walking routes and historical sites, which was fantastic since they recommended a hidden gem of a medieval church nearby.

Overall, it was a wonderful day filled with scenic views, rich history, and lovely conversations. It reminded me again why I love exploring England’s beautiful landscapes and sharing stories along the way!
