Stanton Village Guide
Step Back in Time: The Unspoiled Beauty of Stanton Village Guide
Escape the crowds and discover the timeless charm of Stanton, one of the most picturesque and unspoiled villages in the Cotswolds. Perched on a hillside overlooking the Vale of Evesham, Stanton offers breathtaking views and a tranquil atmosphere. This hidden gem is a haven for those seeking a peaceful retreat and a glimpse into traditional Cotswold life. Stanton's history is rooted in agriculture and the wool trade, like many villages in the Cotswolds. Its isolation has helped preserve its architectural integrity, with many of its honey-colored stone buildings dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries. The village has remained largely untouched by modern development, retaining its authentic character and charm. Visitors can wander through the village's narrow streets, admiring the well-preserved Cotswold stone houses and the charming St. Michael and All Angels Church. Enjoy a scenic walk along the Cotswold Way, which passes through the village, offering stunning views of the surrounding countryside. The village pub, The Mount Inn, provides a welcoming atmosphere and serves traditional pub fare with panoramic views. While Stanton itself doesn't have a unique culinary tradition, The Mount Inn offers a taste of local Cotswold cuisine, often featuring locally sourced ingredients.
