"Bridget Jones Country !!" Snowshill by Don12

Snowshill Travel Guide: 6 reviews and 32 photos

Snowshill in Sun

Snowshill is a tiny village in the Cotswolds region, near to Broadway. Many other villages can be enjoyed within a short distance of Snowshill and two of them, Stanton and Laverton, formed part of the hiking route we took recently to visit Snowshill Manor, a National Trust property.

The charm of the Cotswolds are these small countryside hamlets, made all the more so by the use of the local stone in the construction of every building. The stone has a richly textured appearance that varies from a light sand to deep rustic brown that blends into the local landscape very well.

The village was used as part of the hit movie 'Bridget Jones' starring Renee Zellweger and Hugh Grant. Bridget's parents' home was set in the village.
