A peaceful Cotswold village where walking begins on your doorstep — and the past lingers in every stone.
Stanton is a hidden gem among Cotswold villages — smaller and sleepier than its more famous neighbours, but just as beautiful. With golden limestone cottages, flower-filled lanes, and views over the Vale of Evesham, it’s the kind of place walkers fall in love with.
Set just off the Cotswold Way, Stanton makes a perfect base or stopover for slow, self-guided holidays. You can follow the National Trail north to Broadway or south toward Stanway, or enjoy peaceful circular routes through surrounding countryside. The village is free from crowds but full of atmosphere — ideal for a quiet retreat into nature, heritage, and uninterrupted walking.
