My Actifit Report Card: March 17 2025

My last walk took me through the stunning landscapes of the Cotswolds, a region known for its charming villages and rolling hills. I started my journey in Bourton-on-the-Water, often referred to as the "Venice of the Cotswolds" due to the picturesque River Windrush flowing through it. The stone bridges and quaint cottages gave it a delightful, postcard-like quality.

As I strolled along the river, I admired the wildlife. I saw ducks waddling along the banks and even a couple of swans gliding gracefully across the water. The air was crisp, and the autumn leaves were a riot of colors, creating a beautiful backdrop for my walk.

Continuing along the path, I ventured into the nearby village of Stow-on-the-Wold. Known for its historic marketplace and antique shops, I enjoyed exploring the narrow streets and marveling at the traditional stone buildings. I met a lovely elderly couple who were keen to share stories about the area. They told me that the market square used to be the site of cattle trading and that many of the old buildings had fascinating histories, such as the "Old Stocks," where villagers were once punished.

After a leisurely afternoon, I stopped at a quaint café for a warm cup of tea and a slice of homemade cake. The café was filled with locals, and I struck up a conversation with the barista, who shared tips on other walks in the area. She recommended a trail leading to Snowshill, where the views are simply breathtaking.

The Cotswolds never cease to amaze me with their beauty and rich history. Each walk offers a new discovery, whether it's the landscape, the architecture, or the stories of the people I meet. I can't wait for my next adventure!
