The village of Clapton-on-the-Hill

Clapton was the quarters for the officers based at the Roman camp at Bourton-on-the-Water. In the Middle Ages, Clapton was part of the manor of Bourton-on-the-Water, which belonged to Evesham Abbey. The village is predominantly agricultural with stunning views across the Windrush valley.

Before the Second World War, Clapton was famous for its strawberries, grown in the fields around the village, one of which remains. As befits the former residence of William Fox, there is no pub in the village, however there are many excellent local pubs and restaurants within ten minutes drive of the house.

Some 3 miles from Bourton-on-the-Water, Clapton is extraordinarily peaceful and quiet, yet we are 40 minutes or so from....

We are more than happy to help you plan your days and day tours to gardens both locally and further afield can be arranged with James.
