excursion will provide an opportunity to visit the medieval Saxon town
of Winchcombe, one of the most attractive in the Cotswolds. Winchcombe
retains much of its old world charm with a variety of shops, inns, and
restaurants. The Church of St Peter’s has a number of historic features
including some forty of the finest gargoyles in the UK. En route there
will be a stop of half an hour at the family-owned ‘ecological’
Gloucester Services on the M5, well known for its facilities and
general ambience, including an attractive farm shop. Not far from Winchcombe is Stanway House, a fine medieval manor house in the same family ownership since the 1590’s, where we are fortunate to have been able to arrange a private guided visit encompassing both the house and its unique gardens. The C18 water garden has recently been restored, while the single jet gravity-driven fountain is the highest of its kind in the world. The visit will conclude with a light cream tea. 8.45 am Depart National Museum, 9.00 am depart Wild Gardens Road, Roath Park 10.15 am Coffee break at Gloucester Services 11.45 am Arrive Winchcombe.
