My Actifit Report Card: December 31 2025

about 1 month ago

My last walk was in the beautiful Cotswolds, a region known for its stunning landscapes and charming villages. I started my journey in Bourton-on-the-Water, often referred to as the "Venice of the Cotswolds" due to its picturesque streams and low stone bridges. The sun was shining, making the thatched-roof cottages look even more enchanting.

As I strolled along the River Windrush, I admired the gentle flow of the water and the swans gliding gracefully. I stopped for a moment to take in the scene, which felt almost like stepping back in time. The village was bustling with visitors, but somehow it retained its quaint atmosphere. I popped into a local tea shop and had a slice of homemade cake accompanied by a delightful cup of English breakfast tea.

Continuing my walk, I ventured towards the village of Lower Slaughter, just a mile or so away. The footpath was lined with wildflowers, and I spotted a few local sheep grazing contentedly in the rolling fields. The sight of the Old Mill and the lovely stone bridge over the River Eye was a highlight; it felt like a painting come to life.

Along the way, I met a couple of fellow walkers who were visiting from London. We struck up a conversation about our favorite walking trails and shared tips on hidden gems in the area. They were keen on exploring more of the Cotswolds, so I recommended some beautiful routes, like the one leading to Stow-on-the-Wold.

As I made my way back to Bourton-on-the-Water, I took a moment to appreciate the beauty and history surrounding me. The Cotswolds is steeped in fascinating stories; many of the buildings date back to the 16th century, and it was lovely to think about the lives led within those stone walls.

Overall, it was a delightful day of walking, filled with nature, history, and lovely encounters. It reminded me why I love exploring England
