Neighbourhoods
Known as the Venice of The Cotswolds Bourton has a so many exciting attractions to explore. Birdland is a family favourite with their Emperor penguins, exotic birds and even dinosaur land!
Next to Birdland is the dragonfly maze a must for adventurous children who love a bit of magic. My children are obsessed with a lovely little shop called The lodestone. Known in my house as ‘the crystal shop’ its full of rocks, minerals and gemstones, they spend ages in here choosing little bags of ‘crystals’ to take home! The model village, the motor museum and Bourtons toy shop are also must sees for Children.
