Walking:
Ten minutes drive north are some of the most stunning walks in
the UK - beautiful rolling Cotswold countryside, hidden footpaths
- and very few walkers, so you will really have the feeling of
getting away from it all. |
| |
Golf:
For golfing enthusiasts, there are two local courses - an 18 hole
championship course and a 9-hole intermediate course. Ask for
details of complimentary membership. |

In Addition:
- Windsurfing
and dinghy sailing available on a number of lakes within
5 minutes drive.

all the family!
- Cycling: There is a
12-mile circuit around the lakes, half of it off road, as
well as miles of country lanes and bridleways to explore.
For the more adventurous, there are plenty of hills that offer
more challenging cycling and outstanding views.

offer perfect riding country and there is a school close to
the Watermark that provides both tuition as well as trekking
opportunities for the more experienced rider

Music: noted for traditional standards of British craftsmanship

- Painswick
Rococo Garden: Situated outside the beautiful Cotswold
town of Painswick, the garden is a fascinating step back to
the flamboyant English Rococo period. This gem of a garden,
which was originally laid out in the 18th century, is set
in a hidden Cotswold valley with magnificent views of the
surrounding countryside.

is raised traditionally, in a natural stress free environment
and handled with care and consideration producing meat of
