Blockley Has Beauty and Surprises: Blockley is a very picturesque village surrounded by the green Cotswold Hills in Gloucestershire.

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
