Quaint Villages of England
Picturesque villages are one of the things that England is famous for.
We celebrate the chocolate-box delights of straw-thatched roofs, half-timbered walls and roses growing round the door. Cottage gardens and manicured english lawns are a real delight which enthrall both visitors and locals alike. If you like your English villages quaint, then take a look at these fine examples.
Clovelly in Devon is an old smugglers village that is wonderfully free from modern buildings or advertising hoardings.
Lacock in Wiltshire is a truely quaint village, owned by the national trust who keep it looking picture postcard perfect.
Bourton-on-the-Water
in Gloucestershire was once a rich Wool town so the quaintness has a more
genteel charm than some of the more rustic villages around.
Mevagissey is an impossibly pretty working Cornish port.
Eton is just across the Thames from Eton and aside from the famous school is a tiny quaint village.
