The Central England / Cotswolds / Warwickshire region


Warwickshire has many contrasting towns and villages and is covered in historical Castles, Churches and Stately homes. Traditional market towns dot the picturesque countryside. One can spend the day visiting a multitude of museums and art galleries or hunting for antiques, take lunch in a country pub and then head to one of many fine restaurants, pubs or theatres in the evening. Sports enthusiasts can enjoy a round at many fine golf courses or spend an evening at Stratford upon Avon or Warwick race course.
The Lapworth area
Lapworth village lies in the Birmingham green belt and on the junction of two canals, the Stratford Canal and the Grand Union Canal.
The village is strongly associated with the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, as the charismatic leader of the plotters, Robert Catesby, was born and lived here. His tomb is in Lapworth Church.
There are two National Trust properties close to Lapworth, the historic houses of Baddesley Clinton and Packwood House. Another fine house, Wroxall Abbey, country seat of Sir Christopher Wren also lies close, as well as the peaceful tranquility of Hay Wood, owned by the Foresty Commission.
Lapworth is a popular area for cuisine and has many 'gastro-pubs' including The Boot, The Navigation and the Fleur-de-Lys.

A fantastic place to spend a holiday. The cottage is beautiful and the location next to the canal makes it very special. The cottage is extremely spacious with a very homely feel. We particularly enjoyed the Bose sound sytem throughout the house and the lovely big kitchen!Our girls loved watching the boats going up and down the locks from the safety of the back garden! We were all sad to leave and plan to come back next year. |

We would certainly recommend the cottage, as it has everything in spades!! Great location for walking, watching the canal boats moving through the locks and just chilling with a glass of wine. The cottage was immaculate and very comfortable. |

My wife and I booked a 4 night break at Bridge Cottage and took 4 friends as a thankyou for previous breaks at their French holiday home. We had a great time and everything was exactly as we would have hoped and promised on the website. The cottage is spacious and very well appointed with plenty of useful information. We enjoyed the banter with the friendly passing boaters and had some great canal walks, taking in several great gastro pubs. Great location which amazed our friends who had no prior experience of Warwickshire. Thoroughly recommended and would book again. |
