Blockley Has Beauty and Surprises: Blockley is a very picturesque village surrounded by the green Cotswold Hills in Gloucestershire. Its fine honey coloured buildings made from the local stone are charming and the former mill buildings turned into homes are the legacy of a once thriving silk-making industry. This is a historical village with plenty to recommend it. Located close to some of the best towns in the Cotswolds, taking a cottage break in Blockley could be a fantastic choice for a Cotswold holiday.
What Blockley offers for Cottage Breaks
Many buildings in the village of Blockley remain from the 17th and 18th centuries. St. Peter and St. Paul is the parish church, an attractive structure, some of which dates back to the 12th century.
