After afternoon tea, they are willing to go out for a walk. In such a beautiful place as Baibury, it would be a waste to stay at home all day.

Li Han has been here for a few days, but he doesn't know his neighbors very well. His villa was different from other stone houses, and in order not to spoil the beauty of these thousand-year-old homes, the previous owner of the villa chose a place close to the Cohen River but far from the other houses.

He was not an extrovert in the first place, and the British themselves were polite and cold, and they could not have gotten acquainted with each other quickly if it had not been for an accident. When I first met Benedict, if it wasn't for Benedict who fell, I am afraid it would have been a friendship of nodding and smiling at most.

They walked down Arlington Street, the main street of Baibury, which is said to have been built in the 14th century, and these stone houses are old buildings that the British government has worked hard to protect. Originally used as a monastery wool shop, these huts were converted into weaving huts in the 17th century, and the cloth produced here was sent to the Arlington factory. Arlington Road is probably one of the most filmed Cotswolds scenes and has been preserved by the Royal College of Art and has been used as a filming location for a number of films and television.

The Cohen River is not wide, but the water is clear, and you can see pebbles at the bottom of the river, fish swimming around with their tails, crayfish holding large tongs, and crabs that have not yet grown. Lower down the Cohen River is a place called Baibury Trout Farm, which has been in existence for more than 100 years and produces about 6 million trout eggs a year, which is fed by the Cohen River and Baibury Spring.

The street gradually rises and is lined with verdant meadows that surround old stone huts with pitched roofs. Row after row. There are not many people in the village, the tourist season in the UK is not over yet, there are tourists in the more lively, after the peak season, most of the village is elderly, young people prefer to choose to go to London, Manchester and other big cities, where there are more opportunities to work.

Not far away, there is a stone arch bridge, and at the head of the bridge is a restaurant covered with ivy vines, although it is not gorgeous enough, but it has a sense of historical vicissitudes. Makes people want to live in it and try it. Li Han felt that if he hadn't bought a house here, he would definitely have booked a room to live in immediately.

"This is the Swan Hotel," he said.

In the distance opposite the arch bridge is a small pasture with a few very low stone houses on the side. Someone blew the shepherd's flute from afar. Herds of cattle and sheep leisurely eat grass.

Turn a corner. In front is a church, in front of the church is a cemetery, and most of the headstones are very dilapidated. The church is old as you can tell from the year above. According to records, the land and church of Baibury were under the jurisdiction of St. Mary's Abbey in Worcester, which was transferred to the jurisdiction of Osney Abbey near Oxford in 113o until the abbey was dissolved in 154o. That is, the church predates Arlington Street by several hundred years.

Follow the old stone path through the cemetery, where there is a bench and behind the chair is a pine forest. There should be no one sitting on the bench, but a gust of wind blew into the pine forest, and there was already a sound of wind in the pine forest, as if someone was whispering. The two girls involuntarily moved closer to their boyfriends, and if it weren't for the crowd, they would probably be screaming in fright.

Behind the pine forest was a small stone house, smaller than the one I had seen before, and the stone walls were covered with ivy, as if it had been abandoned for a long time. But apparently, the house was occupied, and there was a nice jeep parked in front of it.

Then they saw a large manor hotel, the house is a centuries-old castle, in front of the castle is a hundred-year-old meadow, behind is a hundred-year-old garden, everywhere can see traces of history, this is probably the biggest selling point of the manor hotel.

This is the famous Baibury Hotel, which is three stories high, the lower two floors are covered with ivy like many other old houses, and the third floor is bare, and from a distance it looks like it is a bungalow.

They approached the hotel, whose main door was a stone arch with the year of construction inscribed on the lintel: 1633.

The grass in front of the hotel is the size of two or three football fields, and it is well kept. They rounded the hotel, and Li Han realized that it was built by the river, and the river ran through its back garden, parallel to a dirt road, and disappeared after a bend down the mountain. There is a row of beautiful fences by the river, and there are trees and grass in the back garden, and there are some unknown flowers blooming on the trees and in the grass, one by one, white, yellow and red, very beautiful.

A straight road leads into the distance, and the road is paved with sand and stones, which can probably allow three people to walk in parallel. Judging by the direction, they are walking back. The delightful thing is that Baibury is full of scenery, even if it is just a dirt road, a few small trees and a meadow, it is as beautiful as a landscape.

Swans and geese swim in the river, a mallard sticks its head in the water, and in a short time a fish comes out, and a child is fishing on a wooden arched bridge not far away. This section of the river is wide and gentle, and the water is relatively shallow, which makes Li Han have the urge to pull up his pants and go to the water to play.

But he finally restrained this impulse, and when someone was fishing, he went down to stir it up, and he was afraid that the angler would have to go home empty-handed.

This is the Cotswolds Hills Walk, which leads to many old villages, but it takes at least a week, and many visitors take their cameras and dry food to walk from here.

In fact, there is no Cotswolds on the map of the United Kingdom, it is a hilly area that spans several counties such as Oxford, Kent, and Glaucester, and is connected by a series of small towns. The first three of the five most beautiful towns in the UK: Cowsworth, Fort Combe, Baibury, Winchester and Ross-Wai are all here.

"Han, you're so good at enjoying it." Benedict hasn't stopped on his phone all the way, taking pictures all the time, "I want to buy a house and live here." I used to think about it, I had never been to such a beautiful place. ”

"The closer you get, the less likely you are to go, and there are a few famous attractions near my hometown, but I haven't been to any of them, and no one believes them." Li Han smiled bitterly, "But what do you do when you buy a house, you can't live for a few days a year, just live with me if you want to come over for a vacation." Besides, I'm afraid that Baibury won't be able to buy any suitable houses, they are all the kind of houses that are hundreds of years old, beautiful and beautiful, but not practical. ”

Li Han likes spacious and bright big houses, those old stone houses are low and dim, and he feels beautiful when he admires them outside, and he can't stand living in them. What's more, those houses may not necessarily be sold. (To be continued......)
