Stow-on-the-Wold, Conwy, Keswick


Stow on the Wold - means "meeting place on the uplands" and is the highest point in the Cotswolds.

The Old Stocks Hotel was very quaint, had great food and a beautiful outdoor patio (when it wasn't raining)

Yes, the stairs were this crooked. But remember, it's location, location, location. Wait, maybe I was at the downstairs pub too long…Tread carefully.

On the back side of St.James Church, a large wooden door is flanked by two ancient yew trees. Was this the inspiration for Tolkien's door into Moria?

Beautiful flowers hung along the walls of the village and in fields

Inside the 15th century Stow-on-the Wold church you can see the "kneelers" in the pews. Made by the "Kneeler Group," needlepointers who meet weekly to sew, sip coffee, and chat.

Off to a nearby pub to eat and be entertained by local folk singers. A great evening.

Days and nights
