Whether you use this DVD while exercising on a treadmill or as a "Virtual Visit," you will enjoy this video. The first part of your 60 minute walk begins outside of the charming village of Snowshill. Walking down the hill and past some typical honey-colored cottages, you eventually reach the center of Snowshill. You pause for a moment beside the Church of St. Barnabus and its old graveyard with so many stories to tell. Your walk continues as you next enter the village of Stanton. Walking behind an elderly gentleman out for a stroll, you stop to take in a lovely thatched-roofed cottage on the outskirts of Stanton. rther on, a group of riders pass as you enter into the center of this traditional Cotswold village. Following the "Cotswold Way" road post, you leave Stanton and next enter into the picturesque village of Bourton-on-the-Water. The River Windrush flows through the heart of this popular village. Your walk follows the footpath beside the river as it cuts through the village. The idyllic village of Bibury is next on your walk. Starting at the Church, you soon pause at the famous Arlington Row, certainly one of the most well-known sites in the Cotswolds. Your walk takes you on through the village and past the historic Swan Hotel. And last, your hour-long walk takes you into arguably the most scenic village in all of the Cotswolds, Castle Combe. You follow a narrow forest footpath, and suddenly the village appears - as if by magic. This quintessential old English Village has been the setting of numerous TV programs including an Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot mystery along with Steven Spielberg's production of War Horse. Your walk actually takes you inside this quiet and tranquil church to view the effigy of a knight in a suit of chain mail who has rested here for centuries. After a complete walking tour of this picturesque village, your 60 minute walk ends at the By Brook.
