Bourton-on-the-Water
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The village
Bourton-on-the-Water is a village in Gloucestershire, England in the Cotswolds area. It is known as the 'Venice of the Cotswolds' because of the bridge-spanned stream that runs through the village .
Bourton has a number of tourist attractions:
The River Windrush is spanned by several attractive small road and footbridges. During the summer, a game of football is played between two of the bridges and is medieval football rather than anything comparable to association football, with goalposts set up in the river itself. Two teams play with a standard football, and a referee attempts to keep order. Crowds line the sidelines of the pitch (the banks), and the aim is to score as many goals as possible (while getting everyone else as wet as possible).
The model village is a 1:10 replica of the village and includes a model of the model village itself (a model within a model).
The Model Railway.
The Cotswold Motoring Museum (home of Brum).
Birdland, an ornithological theme park, which is a collection of birds, from penguins through parrots to passerine (perching) birds. Children can feed the large fish. There are bird-of-prey displays.
The Dragonfly Maze
On the fourth Sunday of each month, there is a farmers' market.
