Stow-on-the-Wold

The Cotswolds

Stow-on-the-Wold is a tiny Cotswold town, located in Gloucestershire, which has a population of just over 2,000 people. The iconic yellow-coloured Cotswold Stone buildings make this market town incredibly beautiful and it’s complete with plenty of locally owned shops. Stow-on-the-Wold is home to a number of tearooms, so it’s perfect for an hour or two in the afternoon to relax with tea and cake.

Recommended tearooms include Lucy’s Tearoom and The Old Bakery Tearoom.

For a full Cotswold experience, also visit Bourton-on-the-Water and Lower Slaughter.
