UK - Stanton - Walkers pause to rest at Cotswolds village cross

Two women country walkers stop on their day's trek across the Cotswolds in the village of Stanton. Wearing red sweaters and matching coloured socks, the two ladies have stopped to snack on the steps of the medieval cross outside a Cotswolds stone cottage in the main high street. Stanton is probably one of the prettiest and idyllic villages in the whole of the Cotswolds. Little changed in 300 years it nestles beneath the slopes of Shenbarrow Hill. It has a very pleasing long main street with several delightful corners where the ancient house are built in typical Cotswolds style with steeply pitched gables, mullioned windows and glowing honey coloured limestone walls. The village contains a number of 16th and 17th century houses as well as a restored, medieval cross and a church in which some Norman work is still evident.
