In today’s episode, join me for a peaceful, relaxed walk around some of the best villages in the Cotswolds. If you prefer to avoid the crowds and enjoy the peace of the English countryside rather than busy city life, this video is for you. I’ll be sharing some of the hidden gems of the Cotswolds. Think honey coloured stone, an old medieval water mill, the gentle flow of the River Eye through charming villages and even villages who don’t allow satellite dishes and tv aerials so look untouched for hundreds of years.

Enchanting!
We love the Cotswolds Stacy
Beautiful!
Lovely video… really enjoyed looking around with you… brought back memories of having lunch with my late father at the Lygon Arms 30 years ago. Thanks for sharing all the best Neil and Ant 😊
I love your telling of the history of the places you share with your viewers. Places I will never get to visit in person and so enjoy with your narration and wonderful pictures and vids. Thank you so much for taking us with you
Oh wow 🤩
Greetings! I have been enjoying your channel so much. What I enjoy most about your channel is I feel like I am part of a very special experience. My children are grown and living their lives, so I feel like I am taking a personal vacation with you all. I smile with every video that your lovely Heidi is in. Seeing her run through the unspoiled countryside with her favorite plushy of the day and experiencing life with her beautiful mama reminds me of my life past when I was a young mom. Thank you again. Happy New Year to you and your beautiful family.
Wonderful journey thru one
Museum town after another.
Presented by our superb tour
Guide-Stacy. Miss seeing Heidy running ahead and exploring. Thanks for everything.
Stacy, thank you for this beautiful video! It was delightful to revisit all of the Cotswolds villages that we toured many years ago. My photos don't do it the same justice as your filming does. Thank you so much!!! I did use my photos as reference for several watercolor paintings when we returned home in the US. I must get that album out again and paint more!! I look forward to each and every one of your videos. Sometimes they actually make me cry, as this one did today…sweet memories….
Thanks so much for all your wonderful videos. When I can’t physically travel, I travel via all your wonderful videos. I really enjoy watching you and your family travel around. Heidi cracks me up. Very confident and intelligent little girl. Stay healthy. Drink some elderberry tea (brew dry elderberries for about 1/2 hr add lemon juice and local honey) to help you heal.
We are Americans of British extraction and so we visited the Cotswold villages you show here. They have stayed in our hearts.
Beautiful filming and love all the history sharing. ❤
De que son esos aros tan bonitos que tienes puestos ? Es esmeralda?
Hello from Colorado! I like several things about your channel: 1) the selection and schedule of the sites you visit and the fact that you re-visit them during the holidays each year and during the different seasons; 2) the history, architecture, landscaping and furnishing details of the sites; 3) the quality of the video format; 4) the selection and use of music; 5) your photographic eye for both detail and landscape shots; 6) quality film editing which result in the appropriate timing and sequencing of each clip and overall flow of the video, and 7) the footage of the car ride approaching your destination. Finally I like your friendly presentation style – not showy or preachy – just a friendly tone like you are sharing with a friend. BTW I don't need a hamper. I just wanted to let you know what I appreciate about your work after watching your for a few years now.
I stumbled upon you channel a year ago, and I've been watching your videos ever since. You manage so beautifully to capture the timeless beauty of the scenes you visit. I love the serene atmosphere of your videos, so peacefull and fulfilling to watch. Also, the implement of historical knowledge is wonderful. It really adds to the overall experience. Another thing that contributes to this is the lovely food and the little shops and restaurants we get to see. They add a feeling of cozyness and enjoyment that completes the picture.
Your videos are always wnjable and I look forward to them every week. Your choice of background music and your soothing vice make them so nice and relaxing to listen to every time! I have the U.K. on my bucket list and your videos make me want to jump on a plane and come to Rngland today! Please keep producing these wonderful videos!!!
Hello, this is Cheryl from Alabama in the US. I have actually been wanting to comment for a long time to tell you how much I have enjoyed your Vlog Stacy! I discovered your channel last year during a very difficult year in my life. I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer last spring, and had to have two surgeries from that, and then in the fall was diagnosed with mesothelioma. So watching your channel was very calming and comforting to me during a difficult time. I have been to England many years ago and went to the Cotswold so I love how many times you take us to the Cotswolds, that brings back. many good memories for me. I would love to go again someday. Heidi is the cutest thing, I have enjoyed watching her grow and learning how to do photography and filming. Many times I have thought she is such a lucky little girl to get to travel with you and see all the things she has seen. I have discovered several travel Vlogs and something I love about yours is, you are very talented and how you present the videos and the photography, and also very knowledgeable and share with us all the history of the places you are taking us to, I love that! Thank you for sharing your lives with us and for the comfort that you’ve brought to my life! Happy new year to you and your sweet family and hope 2025 will be a great year for you! ❤

Love your videos. Love how natural they feel. The history is what I believe makes your videos unique. Please continue.
Lucy Worsley did a program about cooking at that inn and they placed a dog on the wheel to turn the spit. That didn't work out so well and she had to turn the spit herself! 😂 Thank you for another magical visit. Im also very glad to see you looking and feeling so much better, my friend 🧡
Hello Stacy
What a lovely outing with you today, I so enjoy spending time with you and to be honest ,I always dream of being there with you in Person. I am so happy that you sound better and I hope that means you feel better ❤️🩹🙏 I honestly can’t decide which of these beautiful Villages is my favorite, since they are amazing in their own special way. I absolutely love 💕 your Videos, because you are real , authentic and your Love , Kindness and the Respect and Passion for what you do comes through every Time . Wether that is about an Estate , a Village , an Inn or something personal about your own life, like your beautiful Garden , your sweet Chickens or Heidi’s love ❤️ for Cats 🐈 etc. Your Love comes through each and every Time ! Thank you 🙏 and much Love to you and yours ✨🤎✨
What I love about your videos is how calm and peaceful they always make me feel. It's like stepping back into a simpler time.
Stacy, loved this one so much. I love how you include tidbits of history and quirky things. (Ex – dog wheel, window tax, the old beam, oldest barn, etc). Also, the choice of music is sooo soothing, so relaxing. And, last but not least, you. Your gentle spirit shines through like a ray of sunshine. Thanks for making these videos. I’ll never be able to go there, always wanted to, so seeing them means so much. I’ve told you this before.😊 What a way to start the new year.🙂🇺🇸❤️🇬🇧
Hello Stacy, I am spending a wonderfull evening, watching your video while my husband is watching football on tv… What I prefer in your videos : it’s like a walk that I’m taking with you, we walk together I listen your comments, I love the music too but what I like best is your pictures, shorts, so esthetics and peaceful. Your have a lot of talents. Thank you for this walk in the Costwolds villages, a little paradise. I love Costwolds , Castle Comb, It remind me the movie with Jude Law The Holiday with the little cottage. Bye take care💕😘🇫🇷
Stunningly beautiful quaint rural villages of Olde England. I suspect it takes a small fortune to own one of the 'signature' stone cottages and perhaps would take ongoing responsibility for maintenance and adherence to city codes maintaining that uniform medieval look. Shows obvious pride in their special community. No wonder the Cotswolds have been listed as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) under UK law. Your skillful videography and presentation brings the history and beauty of this area to life for viewers. Thank you!
No need to put us in the prize drawing. (We travel so much locally.) We enjoy all the little things in your stories; scenery, explanation, gentle pace, Heidi's reading and eating popcorn on a vacation, and the relaxing music. You got really good eye for artistic footage in all of your frames. Just the whole package of decency in the world! ❤❤❤
Oh my goodness!! Love you guys! Thank you always for taking us back in time and sharing History that means so much to romantics like myself! You bring the English Country side to life and I can’t thank you and your sweet family enough! Hugs from a small town in Utah, USA. Santaquin.
Imagens adoráveis, linda fotografia, recomendo seu canal, você e Top! Parabéns.
Our favorite channel! We love your videos and really enjoy seeing Heidi play. Your exquisite videography, music choices, soothing voice and wonderful historical highlights are what makes your videos so great!
Hi Stacy ! Just recently found your channel, and to be honest kinda addicted now. I smash the like button before I even watch it because I enjoy this content so much. The quality of these videos are excellent. I love anyrhing UK the quaint little villages, architecture, beautiful gardens, I could go on but mostly what a treat it is to get away and chill watching your videos. Love it. Take care and I look forward to more. From crazy cold Alberta, Canada. 😊
Hi Stacy, Peter, and Heid! What I love most about your channel🤔…the cats! In all seriousness, I love how wholesome and beautiful it is. Your videos always give me a sense of peace and calm, and usually right when I need that the most. Everything about your channel is right up my alley, and I am so thankful to be able to see all of these places that I've only dreamed of going to, and probably will never get to, with you. Thanks for all you guys do❤
**Hi Stacy! Greetings from Northern Minnesota, USA! I loved the whole pea picking video! I particularly enjoyed the moment when you stop to pet that beautiful kitty. Please keep the lovely videos coming!**
❤❤ Everything about your videos. The architecture, History and culture are a few reasons I watch your channel.
Your lovely child exploring your locations ……thanks for taking us along.
Hi, Stacy, from Florida! Your channel brings me immense joy for so many reasons – you capture beauty that surrounds you – the serenity of your natural environment, the important initiatives to preserve history in the UK, and, most importantly, Heidi's joy and curiosity as you explore together. I haven't been to the Cotswolds since the late 90s, and it is, without question, my dream destination. Thank you for bringing its magic to life for viewers all over the world!
One of our favourite channels. Excellent content and quality of filming. We both enjoy the context and background that you provide and appreciate the amount of time and thought that must go into making these vlogs. We particularly love the places you visit and the calming atmosphere that you create through both visuals and choice of music. Also we love the occasional cat appearance and cannot wait to visit some the places you have stayed at and visited. Thank you for this fabulous channel.
Добрый день, это Сарра из города Санкт-Петербурга. Это Россия. Мне десять лет. Я смотрю ваши интересные видео, мне нравятся такие путешествия и история Англии.🏡🛖🏘️ Я учу английский язык в школе. Учусь на отлично. В третьем классе. Слушаю как вы говорите, но и читаю субтитры. Бабушка моя тоже смотрит. Спасибо вам большое. Привет от меня вашей дочке Хайди. Она милая и веселая девочка.☺️
Пока (Bye)🤝🤗
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this lovely, soothing video. I REALLY needed it today.
What a gorgeous relaxing tour of the Cotswolds villages, so pretty we really enjoyed it ☺️
Hi Stacy 😊. There are many things I love about your Channel!
I love that you travel together as a family, which is so special. Heidi seems so sweet and you are all lucky to have one another.
I love the wealth of knowledge you share in your videos, as well as showing such beautiful and interesting locations.
I love that your videos guarantee coziness.
Love from South Africa xxx.
Hello from sub zero Minnesota!
I adore your channel! I find it so interesting and soothing. I'm an Anglophile and a history buff, so this I get so much out of your videos! This video was really special, as you mentioned my ancestor, Ela of Salisbury! Keep the wonderful videos coming!
The joy of your video is in the brief histories, told with soft voice, the grand videoing of such beautiful places, your reflections about good places to stay or eat, and the peaceful music accompanying our journey. Thank you.
As a busy mum myself, having a sit down and watching your videos is a relaxing treat. We love Harry Potter so many film locations to visit 😍 love the fluffy cat 🐈 thank you for sharing 😊
What a lovely video thank you 😃
What a wonderful video, your photography is outstanding. Getting to view scenery that I will probably not have the opportunity to visit personally is appreciated, but I especially appreciate the history information you share with us. Greetings from southwest Arkansas.
