Stow-on-the-Wold is a Cotswold town located about 10 miles south of Shipston-on-Stour.  It lies on the top of a hill (The word “wold” literally means “rolling hills”) and the Fosse Way runs through the outside edge of the town.  I usually go shopping at Stow on Sunday mornings, and I know from experience that it is often colder and more rainy in Stow than it is in Shipston!

 

 

 

Stow has quite a tight and compact town centre

 

 

 

Some of the streets are quite narrow

 

 

 

Most of the buildings are made from Cotswold limestone, hence the colour

 

 

 

Another rather narrow street

 

 

 

Like most Cotswold towns, Stow is very popular with tourists
