| Charming thatched cottage at Hanwell |
Hanwell is another lovely Cotswold village situated just north of Banbury. It has a nice church with an old graveyard and pleasantly shady lanes with some huge ancient trees around it, unfortunately much too big for my camera. Like all Cotswold villages, it has a pub, The Moon and Sixpence, and, unlike any of them, the Hanwell Community Observatory, whose aim is to promote astronomy and bring it closer to the general public. The observatory is housed in Hanwell Castle, now a private residence. |

Nemorino Tue Mar 17, 2009 22:28 UTC Great that Hanwell has a Community Observatory. I'm sure not many other villages can make that claim. | JLBG Fri Jan 2, 2009 03:49 UTC Gorgious front photo and nice location! | matcrazy1 Thu Feb 8, 2007 11:13 UTC Houses made of natural stones and topped with thatched roof always look fantastic, right? Haha, that one in Hanwell looks georgeous! | deecat Fri Sep 8, 2006 18:47 UTC Dry stone walls were marvelous, and that introductory photo of the thatch-roofed cottage is most wonderful. |
