Sightseeing
Bredon Hill: It is very hard to miss the hill as it can be seen from nine other counties. With a variety of paths and trails the hill is a haven for walkers and cyclists alike and when you get to the top, the surrounding views of the Cotswolds are well worth the hike. Bredon Tithe Barn: Built in the 14th century, the barn is superb example of medieval architecture. And although you cannot get inside, there are external steps to the solar, where you can peer in and view the interior.

Today Sudeley Castle remains the only private castle in England to have a queen buried within the grounds - Queen Katherine Parr, the last and surviving wife of King Henry VIII – who lived and died in the castle.
Henry himself, Anne Boleyn, Lady Jane Grey, Queen Elizabeth I and Richard III have all played a part in Sudeley’s story. King Charles I found refuge here during the Civil War, when his nephew Prince Rupert established headquarters at the Castle. Following its ‘slighting’ on Cromwell’s orders at the end of the Civil War, Sudeley lay neglected and derelict for nearly 200 years.
