The Old Mill Museum, Lower Slaughter

A walk around one of England's most attractive villages...and a visit to an Alladin's Cave of delights;
Gerald Harris's Museum shop, where you will find that Special Gift....But, first you must walk through this delightful village...You will find the Old Mill in the far right hand-corner. Just look for the Mill Tower!

Lower Slaughter has been called "The Prettiest Village in England" - as to whether this is true, I can not comment for I have not visited them all, but what I do know is that it is certainly a beautiful and quaint Cotswold village. Best visited on a June morning, before the walkers, and charabancs arrive.

The Riverside Cafe
Try the Circular Walk from behind the Old Mill. It takes you up to Upper Slaughter and along the Windrush Valley. When you return be sure you visit the Old Mill where you will be met with a warm welcome and an invitation to taste their delicate ice cream, or to sip their freshly ground coffee, sitting Al Fresco beside the Mill Leat.

You will, most likely, be met at the entrance by Gerald Harris, Jazz Crooner and Bon Viveur. He will enquire after the success of your day and will show an interest in "You" that few others do in this neck of the woods.

He lives and breathes his business, and it will not surprise you that his is the most successful retailer Goldeneye supply. You can, if you wish, purchase one or two of my Guidebooks and Map-Guides from him, too.
