Continue to the villages of Upper and Lower Slaughter, where you’ll be enchanted by the tiny River Eye, a tributary to the River Windrush. Stroll alongside the stream in Lower Slaughter, a village with a history dating back to the Doomsday Book of 1086. Visit Lower Slaughter Mill & Café, and enjoy the serene atmosphere.

The name “Slaughter” derives from the Old English slothre, meaning “muddy place.” Despite its name, the village has long been associated with peace and prosperity, supported by its location in the fertile Cotswold countryside.
