A Tranquil Early Morning Walk in a Serene Cotswold Village.

- So, today we are out and about walking in the Cotswold village and civil parish of Chastleton. The village is located in Oxfordshire, England and about 4 miles (6.4 km) northeast of Stow-on-the-Wold. The village is in the far northwest of Oxfordshire and very close to the boundaries of Warwickshire and Gloucestershire. At the time of the 2011 census the Parish's population was 153. The post town for Chastleton is Moreton-in-Marsh.
The parish church Saint Mary the Virgin was built in the latter part of the 12th century. Some renovation work was carried out in the 14th century and then the south bell tower was added in 1689. The church is a Grade II listed building.
Most of our walks feature local churches and churchyards but for some viewers they might not be so keen on seeing these sections of the walks and the churchyards especially, which may be for many reasons including and not limited to personal. To alleviate this, I will be placing a time stamp in videos from now on, which will correlate to exiting from a church / churchyard. Today the local church is entered at around the 4 min mark and exiting takes place at 10:51 .
The fine looking house next to the church is Chastleton House, it is noted to be one of England's most finest & complete Jacobean houses. It is Grade I listed and was built / completed in 1612. For many generations it was occupied by the Jones family but is now under the ownership & care of the National Trust. The house was opened to the public in 1997.
Sadly, we don't have the usual high quality binaural audio for this walk as the recording did not come out, all I got was just one second of audio from the binaural mics, I think what probably happened was I pressed record on the separate audio recorder but then accidentally pressed stop shortly after - most likely due to having gloves on I suspect! So the audio you are hearing is from in-camera - Sorry!
There are no hidden OAAW logos to find in this video :(
Thanks for your time & walking with me.

Your walks are fascinating precisely because they are slow and give you the opportunity to feel the peace and unhurried life of Old England, as it was long ago. A slow walk and close-ups of an old rusty gate and faded wood give a feeling of complete presence. Magic videos.
Hello. Good to hear from you. Glad you are enjoying the walks. I very much appreciate your support. All the best to you. ~ OAAW

Thank you for taking us on this walk, OAAW. I've been watching your videos on TV rather than computer/phone recently so I haven't been my usual chatty self. Hope you're doing well. All the best!
Hi, Michael. It is really good to hear from you. I was only thinking about you yesterday morning! I believe that a large percentage of viewers watch the walks on TV nowadays. I have been fairly busy this end…I’m in the midst of a PC upgrade as I can no longer update the video software due the CPU being two generations too old, apparently the new updates are 5 times faster! But transferring all the software and plugins across is very time consuming. Quick update regarding the driving channel…In due course I will be rebranding it and restarting over from fresh. I kind of feel like the current branding does not reflect that fact that the channel is also a music channel, which leads me onto I will be also changing direction slightly in terms of the music style, it will still be along the ambient lines but will be a bit more musical by incorporating some nice chord progressions. You can view the new name for the channel by checking out the handle for the channel ;.
Thanks ever so much for your kind donation and continued support. It really helps and means a lot!
Hope you are all well, Michael. Take care and all the best. OAAW

@@OutandaboutWalking applause all your hard work that U.
Thanks for your videos . 🙏😇🕊️🇨🇱🇺🇲
Such a well thought out opening. Those silhouetted trees were beautiful with great bird sounds. Nice ivy covered churchyard. Good to see the early signs of spring flowers budding! Liked the closeups throughout. Another well chosen path and location. 🙌🏻 Thanks!
Hi, James. Always a pleasure to hear from you and also very much enjoy hearing your feedback. The intro is probably the easiest part to kind of script as so to speak after that I am just pretty much winging it :). Def looking forward to Spring. Thanks ever so much for your continued support. All the best to you. ~ OAAW
Good morning 🎉🎉sms from srivalli in India state Tamil Nadu very nice
Thanks very much :). Have a good day.
Sitting here drinking my tea after a walk in the woods. I love those early morning misty walks where each step unfolds a secret only the forest knows. BUT...now I am enjoying every second of your beautiful walk!! The birds are so lovely, the paths, gates & your footsteps are wonderful familiar sounds I look forward too. The cemetary walks are always interesting. Such big gorgeous trees!!! Thank you for treating us to a lovely walk. I so look forward to them. ❤
Hi, Michele. Thanks very much. That sounds like a lovely walk, it has been a while now since I have done a woodland walk, need to get one in soon hopefully. I am glad you enjoyed our little saunter today. Have a good week ahead. All the best to you. ~ OAAW
@@OutandaboutWalking and to you as well. 🌲🤗
Edificaciones llenas de vida e historia, con un entorno natural que cautiva el alma. Los cementerios ejercen una fascinación misteriosa en mi, solo de imaginar los fragmentos de historia y vida que descansan bajo esas frías lápidas. Todo en su conjunto está concatenado para generar un ambiente perfecto. Sinergia entre cada uno de sus elementos. Mil gracias al creador de un contenido de tanta sensibilidad. Feliz domingo para toda esta especial concurrencia.❤❤❤
Hi, Ana. Thanks very much for your wonderfully descriptive comment. Have a good week ahead. ~ OAAW

Hello, good to hear from you. Glad you enjoyed this walk today :). Hope you have had a pleasant weekend. All the best to you. ~ OAAW
Lovely, could you show some gardens, regards from N.Z
Hello! I really like watching videos about Cotswold. It's good for my soul. I live in Brazil, in the interior of the state of Rio Grande do Sul. Thank you for your videos.
Hi, Simone. Welcome aboard, it is nice to know you. Glad you are enjoying our walks in the Cotswolds. All the best to you.
Another beautiful memorial amid a pasture, such a historical filled region this Cotswold. Fascinating to study the folks who roamed before we came along, especially their construction techniques. My father's family home is hundreds of years old, still intact, the roof hasn't one joist holding it up. The house outer walls carry the weight but the four roof sides hold each other up, the entire tension is in the peak which is 80ft above the attic floor. The house interior is so synched that any interior door swung by a fella will cause every single unlatched door to also swing but by itself. Course the family are used to it, but every guest stranger gets the "business", they're told casually it's just our ancestors milling about😱. I'm so endeared and intrigued by your many close-ups on this walk, especially the trees....you should see the giants all over my greatgrands farm! I'm confused and feel it's not right for you to be judged concerning where we walk. You are incredibly respectful of churches, rather like a history professor, showing the construction types and dignity care of ancestors. You do not flaunt religion as you know the whole world can be viewing. The churches are just part of the nature of your country. And say, the ambience was spot on however it was recorded. Had you not fussed at yourself, I for one wouldn't have noticed nor actually did I even hear much difference. This is, yikes, the 147th time I've repeated those words, and I mean them. You've nothing to fuss about, Sir🕶️, really! 🤗
Good day, L.J. Great to hear from you. Hope all is well. That does sound an incredible & intriguing property! Definitely built to last. I wonder if the guests sleep with one eye open if staying overnight. I always enjoy trying to spot close-ups. I don't know why but I have always had a bit of a thing for trees...would love to see those magnificent trees on the farm! Always like hearing of the places you know so well and mean so much to you. Regarding the churchyard...I probably didn't explain it properly in the description, I wasn't being judged at all for walking in churchyards, it was that something important came to light which is very personal to a long time viewer of the channel who suffered the loss of a close family member. So, to avoid any distress or anxiety to the person concerned, I added a timestamp so that the viewer does not have to try and skip through the video to miss out the cemetery sections. I hope this makes sense as I again have probably not explained it well (I'm rubbish at explaining things!). I find that if listening to the audio through just the speaker of a cell phone there is not much difference between in camera audio and binaural audio but when listening through headphones that is when the difference is pretty big. You know me too well but I'm sure it is 148 times 😁. Thanks for your time & support. ~ OAAW. Ps, where did that week go!
@@OutandaboutWalking
Thanks & blessings for the church explanation, I sometimes get the wrong conclusion, I do so apologize ifn I trode where I shouldn't have, I share your friend's sorrow at the incurable emptiness, I have a large cavern myself that echoes once in awhile and makes me eyes water. 😢 But then doggone ifn a smile doesn't sneak in, and the happy times with those folks crashes me boohoo party and I hear their voices saying "come on now! Replay some of the old home movies and laugh with us again. We're still here!"
And where's the week? Well, I saw it but only fleetingly too, but as me legs are concrete stiff I must've chased hard after it for acouple-three days. Whoa horsey I exclaimed.
@@jaclynmwvasquez I know what you mean, there are empty spaces within us which can never be refilled. As human beings bereavement is one of the hardest things we go through. Every day I still miss my folks
How is L.J today? It has been sunny here all day 😎 but cold with it tho.
@@OutandaboutWalking
Brrrrr! Me face feels slapped here too (🦮🐕🦺run) and Mr🌞

Can't go without comment 😊
So peaceful video ❤

Thanks very much for your kind words. Have a good week. All the best. ~ OAAW
A new walking video is welcome at any time, of course- but the ones like this that appear first thing on a Sunday morning are a truly lovely way to start off the week! I try to watch the walk in its entirety upon arising (unless my dog’s need to be let out for important jobs necessitates the walk being delayed), and I often watch it again later in the day while doing household tasks. The early morning walks are always my absolute favorites! What was that structure that we saw first thing in the video? It had an interesting appearance. I appreciate the background information you give about the places you go and the buildings you pass, and I am always amazed by the sheer age of these places (coming from a younger country). Your close-ups are also always enjoyed, of moss, ivy leaves, stone patterns in walls, etc., as these are the types of things that we would probably pause to observe if we were to be on the walk ourselves. It was good to hear the bird songs- though I must say that I am hearing a bit more chirping around our area in recent days. Spring is coming. : )
(It was thoughtful of you to put the time stamp in consideration of the viewer who had recently lost a loved one, and was made sad by seeing churchyard cemeteries. I am sure that your kind gesture was appreciated by that individual).
Thank you for another nice walk!
Hi, Janet. Thanks very much for your lovely comment. It is always good to get feedback on the filming aspects as it helps to shape future walks. The building at the beginning is a dovecote house, they were used to house doves & pigeons. The building is a well known historical landmark in the area.
It is important to me to take everyones feelings into account, especially where extra sensitivity is required.
Hope all is well and you are having a nice Sunday. All the best to you both. ~ OAAW
@@OutandaboutWalking
Interesting about what that little house is! I had heard the term “dovecote” before in an old book from the 1800s, but did not know what it referred to. It’s good to learn new words. : )
I agree with you about considering the feelings of others, and showing sensitivity; it definitely makes the world a better place when we do this. BTW, I was sorry to read this past week that King Charles was diagnosed with cancer. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family, and with all the folks who are dealing with this distressing disease. Thankfully, there are many excellent treatments available, and many success stories.
I hope you have a pleasant week. : )

How lovely for a Sunday walk, OAAW! Thank you!
While I see churches and related as more historical - and cultural and societal history, I appreciate that you are helping people who might not want to partake of such things by identifying where they are in the video. Just a thought: maybe put the timestamp in the video itself (i.e., Churchyard from 4:00 to 10:51) in case they don't check out your description?
Chastleton House was fab! If I ever make it back to the UK and get to the Cotswolds, it's on my list to visit.
Hi, Cheryl. Lovely to hear from you today. Glad you enjoyed another Sunday walk :).
That is a great idea! I just need to figure out how it is done and then will implement it.
How are you? Hope you're OK.
Thanks very much for your comment and continued support.
All the best to you. ~ OAAW
@@OutandaboutWalking
Hey OAAW~ I'm just following you! ;)
Doing well here in the US Northeast. Though we are getting ready for the biggest snowstorm we've had in two years. That should be interesting. I find it curious that England is north of the US Northeast (we are more parallel with the south of France / north of Spain) but you still have some green trees and bushes and we do not - our trees and bushes are bare, our grass is yellow-brown, etc. I realize the jet stream, etc., play a part, but it still is odd to see in "real time."
I hope you are well? I look forward to your next walk!
@@cherylb6755 :)
Did you not get any of all that snow a few weeks ago? Might be worth stocking up on a few supplies if you have not already done so. I see what you mean about being parallel with the south of France (had to look on a map). I’m guessing that most of the greens you are seeing in recent videos are evergreens but I’m no expert :) and like you say, Jet streams probably have a lot to do with it. Where did you visit last time you were here, if you don’t mind me asking.
@@OutandaboutWalking
Hey OAAW~ We did get snow, but it’s been warmer than our winters used to be so if didn’t last long. We will have much more typical cold weather after this storm so the snow will last this time. I’m always ready for bad weather so I rarely have to scramble for supplies.😉🤞🏻
My dearest friend and her family lived in Croydon and Norbury, so I’ve been there a couple of times. We spent time locally and in London proper. One of our best excursions was to see an outdoor Shakespeare in the Park performance of A Midsummer-Night’s Dream. Truly enchanting and magical in every way. Beautiful country and beautiful people….
@cherylb6755 oh wow, you have been to Croydon twice...you have put me shame as I have only ever been there once which was a very-very long time ago and also never to Norbury. One of Shakespeare's finest works :)
Hermoso, la acabo de ver! Desde argentina 🇦🇷🇦🇷
Good to hear from you, Gladys. Thanks for your continued support. ~ OAAW
Silly question maybe, but what is that building in the opening shot? It`s very intriguing, and I wonder what it`s for.
Lovely quiet rural area. And also, the timestamp is marvelous! 🙂
Evening Eva. That is a very good question...it is a dovecote house, typically built by wealthy folk to house doves and pigeons.
You're welcome 😊
Have a good week ahead. ~ OAAW
@@OutandaboutWalking I would never have guessed that is what it`s for. I thought it was some sort of religious building, haha. Thank you!
