i think that if you want to go to a really nice humble town, head over to the south east of gloucester; Matson. The people there are very friendly and they will welcome you with a cup of tea and a biscuit. The, architecture is exquisite and you will not get, "shanked"
I have been in Englands very nice cotswold hills last year and now, by looking at the photos I have taken to make a photobook, I can't remember which is the pretty little village we visited. Perhaps anybody can help me, when he see these photos.
