A Tranquil Early Morning Walk in a Serene Cotswold Village.

So, today we are out and about walking in the Cotswold village and civil parish of Chastleton. The village is located in Oxfordshire, England and about 4 miles (6.4 km) northeast of Stow-on-the-Wold. The village is in the far northwest of Oxfordshire and very close to the boundaries of Warwickshire and Gloucestershire. At the time of the 2011 census the Parish's population was 153. The post town for Chastleton is Moreton-in-Marsh.

The parish church Saint Mary the Virgin was built in the latter part of the 12th century. Some renovation work was carried out in the 14th century and then the south bell tower was added in 1689. The church is a Grade II listed building.

Most of our walks feature local churches and churchyards but for some viewers they might not be so keen on seeing these sections of the walks and the churchyards especially, which may be for many reasons including and not limited to personal. To alleviate this, I will be placing a time stamp in videos from now on, which will correlate to exiting from a church / churchyard. Today the local church is entered at around the 4 min mark and exiting takes place at 10:51 .

The fine looking house next to the church is Chastleton House, it is noted to be one of England's most finest & complete Jacobean houses. It is Grade I listed and was built / completed in 1612. For many generations it was occupied by the Jones family but is now under the ownership & care of the National Trust. The house was opened to the public in 1997.

Sadly, we don't have the usual high quality binaural audio for this walk as the recording did not come out, all I got was just one second of audio from the binaural mics, I think what probably happened was I pressed record on the separate audio recorder but then accidentally pressed stop shortly after - most likely due to having gloves on I suspect! So the audio you are hearing is from in-camera - Sorry!

There are no hidden OAAW logos to find in this video :(

Thanks for your time & walking with me.
