This text is an edited version of the captions (enable CC) in the video.This morning we are walking from Upper Slaughter to Lower Slaughter. Upper Slaughter is a small village in the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire, England. The main town of the Cotswold district is Cirencester, a 30 minute car drive away. Travelling from London by car is about 140 km and would take over two hours. Public transport from London would take around three hours, by train, then a bus ride and then a 30 minute walk. In 2011 the population here was recorded at 177 people. As there are so few houses the property market in the village is small. There have been 12 houses sold in the last five years. Those house sales averaged at £1,613,561 per property. Which is £1,332,561 above the UK national average (April 2022). Weather; average temperature is as low as 1°C around December to January, climbing up to a maximum average around 22°C from June to August. The name Slaughter may sound ghoulish, but originates from an Old English term “slothre”, meaning wet land or a muddy place. The village was built on the banks of the River Eye, a small river branching from the River Windrush. Lower Slaughter is also on the River Eye, only a two km walk away. Excavations in the area revealed there could have been a small Roman settlement here. The first records of Upper Slaughter are of its Manor, in the Domesday Book (1086). The manor is recorded as being in the possession of powerful Norman nobleman; Roger de Lacy. During the 12th century Upper Slaughter was the site of an adulterine castle. Adulterine castles were castles built without royal approval. They were mainly built during the Anarchy, a civil war between 1139 and 1154. The castle at Upper Slaughter was built of earth and timber. A mound on the north side of the village marks the remains of the castle. The church we saw earlier dates back to the 12th century. The church underwent restoration work in 1877, but retained some of its Saxon features. There is a gabled Manor House in the village dating from the 15th century, after much neglect it was restored in the 19th century, it is now a private residence. Next door to this building is the 17th century hotel; Lords Of The Manor Hotel. Upper Slaughter is known as a Double Thankful Village, meaning the village lost no men in the armed forces during World War I and II. In 1944 a German bomber dropped 2000 incendiary bombs on the village. Buildings were damaged, but there were no fatalities or injuries. The BBC series Father Brown (2013-2022) has been filmed here, as well as the Charles Dickens BBC mini-series Our Mutual Friend (1998). We are now heading into Lower Slaughter, from the west end of the village. We pass-by the water mill in a few seconds. A mill has been recorded here all the way back to the 11th century. The current 19th century water mill is open five days a week as a museum. You can learn more about bread making and the workings of the mill. The mill was last used to grind flour for bread in 1958. As well as the water mill, the local inn and manor house support the village’s main trade of tourism. Both Upper and Lower Slaughter are very attractive villages. Most of the homes here are 16th and 17th century, built from Cotswold limestone. There are more modern residences that have been built the other side of the old village. These homes put the average house price in the area at £468,750. There have only been two house sales recorded in the last five years. Access and parking to both villages can be hard. The roads and lanes are narrow, meaning vehicles like tour buses can not enter. Parts of the 2020 film adaptation of Jane Austin’s Emma were filmed here.
Our country is incredible.
I am savoring your videos. Especially the special early mornings with the birds and the rising sun. You bring me peace.
Totally wonderful! Thank you so much.The birdsong is beautiful to hear. Two gorgeous villages, I’m truly grateful that you get up so early in order to film these places at their best in their peaceful morning glory. It’s almost like we are actually there breathing the cool air, oh! It’s glorious! 🙏🏻💕
How I’d love to live in such a beautiful old place! Your filming is absolutely top-notch, and I thank you for bringing us these exquisite images!
Thank you for the lovely comment. I'm just very fortunate to be able to have these experiences and to be able to share them with such nice people.
A wonderful walk with the bird song love that beautiful blessings 🏴💕💕
Thank you as always 😊. The bird song is lovely company on these walks. Best wishes 🏴🥰
I’ve walked this exact path and fell in love with those old oak trees. Thank you for sharing this. It brought back very find memories. Those trees felt like dear old friends ❤️
Hi! I’m from Russia and I think your videos very very good and beautiful, like fairy tale 🏡
I enjoy watching your videos after a hard day's work and in weekend.
Goode luck!
I just discovered this genre and was thrilled with this walk. It made me drag out the photo album from my trip to England in 1997. (From the USA). A Royal Shakespeare Company package included one night at the Lords of the Manor hotel in U.S. They treated us like millionaires. We walked to Bourton-on-the-Water and en route had coffee and biscuits at the Lower Slaughter Manor, where we were again treated very well. Fabulous trip! Thanks so much. Watching it lowered my heart rate too!
I loved when you said "good morning" to the sheep 🤣
They looked so sheepish
I thought it was unbahhlievable 😜
@@everywhereisimagined 🐑🐑🐑 I laughed when you "Morning"-ed them! Really enjoyed this walk. So peaceful... I'll have a better day now. Hope you all will, as well!
Your videos make me emotional! I live in Australia and am working against odds to move to England, I've been twice and it's unmistakably my soul's home. Thank you for taking us on these medicinal walks. 🙏🌿💖
Thank you, that is so kind and so nice to know. With thanks and good wishes 😊
I came back from UK two weeks ago and I also think the same my soul,s home
Nah mate stay in Australia its so expensive here now..
@@ORDEROFTHEKNIGHTSTEMPLAR13 Probably not as expensive as Australia is! But it doesn't matter anyway, England could be the most expensive place anywhere and I'd still go.
Coming here on vacation is one thing but coming to live here is another thing?? You do realise that England isn't all rainbows and unicorns???
I stream these videos onto the TV and jog on my mini trampoline! Thank you so much for creating these beautiful inspiring videos! You have a special gift!
So glad I found your channel. I am headed to the Cotswolds on a month walk about, and you have further inspired me. I do worry that I will get lost, as the paths appear unmarked, but what a lovely spot it amble. Wish this old woman luck, and thank you so much for the peaceful walks.
Thank you for this very beautiful video. Small towns in full harmony with nature. Cars spend the night parked in front of houses and no one moves. Here where I live, in Erechim, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, if I leave a car parked all night in front of my house, the next day it will only find the tires.
Glad you liked the walk and thank you. Your comment makes me realise how as humans we are all living on the same planet but all have different experiences depending where we live.
We’ve been in Lower Slaughter four years ago. Thanks for bringing back memories.
Lovely to know you enjoyed strolling down memory lane. Best wishes.
Certainly "savouring the beauty" here! With so much of it, how can anyone not? Love the early-morning birds, too.
I found your channel quite by accident, and it was the best discovery I've had in a while. It is extremely pleasant to "walk" with you in atmospheric places that are full of peace, comfort and incredible beauty. I am from Ukraine and during a difficult time for our country, when the whole society is working for our victory and a peaceful life in the future, thanks to your videos I have the opportunity to rest my soul. I dream of visiting UK one day and enjoying its incredible places. Thank you for the inspiration and great atmosphere. Also, thanks for the information about the places you visit in the video descriptions. You help to restore mental harmony and peace when it is so necessary.
I really appreciate it. 🌿⛅
после таких великолепных прогулок и потрясающих видов можно и на экскурсии не ездить! Огромная благодарность автору за такие экскурсии!
Hi, I watch your videos from here in Brazil🇧🇷...the places you show are stunning...thanks for providing this, may God bless you greatly🙏🌷
Thank you, I'm very blessed to be able to visit these places and then doubly grateful to be able to share them with such kind people. Thank you and good wishes 👋🇬🇧😊
Beautiful, euphoric.
God bless England and the people!
Love from Dallas.
Thank you! Very kind 😊👋🇬🇧
Thank you Dallas for that complement and God please America
i mean...imagine people live there on a daily basis, it"s like a dream fr
This is just wonderful, beyond words. Someone who is not able to take walks, can virtually take them...You may never know how many people are blest by your videos. I already shared this one with someone who was so glad to see it. I will keep on sending more. Thank you....it's to bad that we can only give one thumbs up👍.
You always manage to catch the best time of the day for walks. Stunning
Thank you! I think I forgot to comment on your Yatesbury video. It was very touching, I had an old friend who was stationed there. He used to talk about travelling on the old trainline from Calne to Chippenham . I wished he was still with us so I could have shared it with him. It made me feel a bit emotional. Thank you
@@everywhereisimagined ❤️ thank you for sharing that.
Thank you for a fabulous video of my favourite village in the Cotswolds so beautifully filmed, peaceful and quiet with no one around. Beautiful day as well, not even a breeze,
It was a lovely morning, with a crisp nip in the air. Glad you liked it.
Hi ☺️ My mom likes a lot of your videos. We live in Korea. England is a wonderful country! Thanks for the great video!
It really is a pleasure. Thank you for taking the time to comment. Say thank you to your mom also. Best wishes from across the ocean 👋😊🇬🇧
Fabulous! Probably one of the most fantastic videos I've ever seen. The England of our imagination is in this place. Grateful. I hope there are more places like this to reveal.
I forgot to mention the magic of filming, the passion, the right time of day. Details that make all the difference. Congratulations!
Another beautiful walk. Thank you for sharing.
Always a pleasure.
Thank you so much. It has been a 40 year dream to visit the Cotswolds. Thanks to you...I am. 💛
You are welcome 😊
Как приятно знать, что где-то в мире существуют такие красивые места! Люди живущие там определенно счастливы!
Да, надеюсь, они ценят это так же, как мы ценим красоту. Спасибо
I love that there is little talking. You let the amazing scenery and sub titles tell the story. It means you can truly absorb the beauty you are showing us! Thank you.
Качество 👍, формат 😊на 👉высшем уровне ❤👈. Съёмки на отдалении супер👍 💚👍( эталон) . Спасибо за✌ доброе, божественно красивое 🌄🙋утро.❤😇
Привет 👋 и спасибо 😊. Всегда приятно, что вы цените 🙏 прогулки 🚶🏻♂️ и стиль съемок 📹😊
согласен на все сто
😄✅👍
I love your videos so sooo much! Early mornings I play it in the background, while sipping a cup of coffee and journaling. Sets the day right!
I completely love the sound of that!
We have lived in Texas for many years and seeing Worcester as it is now would be interesting.
I’ll add it to the list
Gorgeous. I love how you filmed walking away from the church in upper and in lower in the village.
I loved walking through the dark wood and coming out into the light. Perfect as always. Thank you
Always a pleasure Tracy. You are too kind, it is appreciated though. Glad you liked those moments... you can only really walk backwards while filming when nobody else is around. Best wishes.
I came here to say the same thing Tracy - that was genius use of the camera and perspective. ❤️
Thank you, Adam, for yet another mesmerising and peaceful walk. 🙏🏽
It is as time stood still in these villages, and we were allowed to come to rest with them. 🧡
I have just returned from a delightful long stay in the Dutch Caribbean, surrounded by the most beautiful nature, breathtaking views and relaxing atmosphere.
Our walk today resonates so well with that.
Maybe one day you get to walk there as well. I highly recommend it!
Sending you warm greetings from The Netherlands 🇳🇱
Good morning Michael. Always good to hear from you. That sounds delightful, I'd not heard of the Dutch Caribbean before so just had a quick Google. It looks lovely. We have a little trip coming soon, I'd usually say "to warmer climates" but England is currently having a mini heat wave. Best wishes to you 😊👋🇬🇧
@@everywhereisimagined That heat wave has reached us in the Low Lands as well, Adam! 🌞 30 to 40 degrees all over the country. It feels as if I am still on Curaçao 🇨🇼 (and loving it 😊)
Enjoy your holidays, Adam!
PS: Wait…. Let me pour us both a coffee before I go lay in the sun… ☕️☕️
@@michaeldriebeekvanderven you have no idea how much that coffee has improved my day. Thank you 🙏😊
It simply amazes me how you are able to walk through miles and miles of private property in the UK! In Australia you could never just walk through land owners fields and grounds! I love how the beauty is accessible to all. 💚
Thankfully in the UK we have a great public footpath network to explore. Sometimes if these paths go across farm land you may occasionally encounter a grumpy landowner but generally these are safe paths to walk down. Some are more used than others and one I went down this morning that is less used was overgrown with stinging nettles.. ouch!
We have a right to rom the land is free with footpaths unless someone has land they have fenced off 🏴🌹
I love the Cotswolds, such beautiful greenery. I bet they are looking a bit more parched now after the July and August heatwaves! Thanks for sharing.
Such a beautiful, beautiful village.
Its my favorite although I have never been there nor will I ever.
Often thought that the chimney and side building once housed a boiler and steam engine to drive the grinding machinery when river levels were low which was fairly common but have never been able to find out.
Tourism might bring money into the village but I bet it makes living there for the locals a tad stressful at times.
Many thanks for taking us there.
You are right Peter the 19th-century water mill with an undershot waterwheel and chimney is for additional steam power.
I've not visited during peak season but can imagine it must get busy. We are currently having a mini heatwave in England so I can imagine the river must be tempting to dip toes into.
Glad you liked the walk. Best wishes.
hola soy una señora de Barcelona enamorada, de toda Inglaterra ya desde pequeñita me atraia mucho su pais, muchas gracias por tan maravilloso video.
Can you speak English???
То как мягко падает свет на старинные домики, на зелёные луга и кроны деревьев, мирно пасущиеся овечки (кажется готовые ответить на ваше "доброе утро!" 😁) - всё это, придаёт тёплую и уютную атмосферу деревенскому пейзажу. Очень гармонично! Спасибо за прогулку! :)
Спасибо за прекрасное описание. Рада, что вам понравилась прогулка и овцы 😉
Буду ждать от вас не менее прекрасных видео 😉 а пока пойду считать овец 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🛌💤😁
Of all the imaginary friends I’ve found since the pandemic you are one of my favourites. Thank you.
That made me laugh and smile... I am real though so you can remove the would imaginary if you like. Best wishes.
Looks and sounds so peaceful there! Thanks for taking us along. It’s beautiful! 😊
É umas paisagens tão mas tão bonitas, uma convivência com a natureza me parece uma ótima ideia para se adotar !!!!
Thanks so much for this beautiful walk all there is amazing ,greetings from Mexico city!!!!
My pleasure. A lovely place and a lovely morning 🇬🇧👋😊
What a beautiful and peaceful walk! Tooth pain and inflammation in the jaw made me highly sensitive to certain voice pitches and sound mixing. This natural soundscape provides some relief. Thank you! Keep up the walk tours!
I hope the tooth pain eases over time. I'm glad you enjoy the peaceful walk and they help a little. Take care and best wishes.
Absolutely stunning images of this so so beautiful place in the Cotswold and I must say what a wonderful job you did of capturing it. Really thankful for your work. :)
Thank you so much that is very kind. I am very fortunate to be able to visit these places with ease and have some great fortune with the weather. Greatly appreciated :)
Thank you for this walk, I bumped into this channel a couple of months ago and it's been a pleasure to "follow" you on your walks. Love, from sweden
Your videos are few.. (I watch a lot of walking videos) but they are top class... Recently I was reading some metaphysical stuff.. kind of past life regression and they stated that earth is a poor copy of the Realms we visit after death.. But I am hoping it's just like this places I see on ur video.
Bless you, that comment made me feel a bit emotional. I'm very fortunate to be able to visit these places and receive such positive kind feedback. Thank you.
If I die and don't see this after I walk through the PEARLY GATES😢then I'm not dying..
‘Morning’ haha this one is my favorite so far, beautiful stroll!
Such beauty in one small island and one day soon I will return home to live there. You are my connection to the best place on the planet, please never stop.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️#1 CZcamsr
Bless you Sue, that is very kind and I always appreciate your responses on Instagram. I hope you get back soon. Best wishes.
Actually it’s really not that small. The UK is 1500 km long, covering 250,000 square km, with 30,000 km of coast line. It’s a actually a huge Island, that took me 18 days to cycle end to end. Did you know you can fit 23 Yellow Stone National parks into the UK?
@@pershorefoodbanktrusselltr3632 I’m a Brit “ living” in Australia ( 💩hole) England is a small island compared to oz.🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Absolutely beautiful! I think this is my favourite!!!!
Thank you! It was a nice walk with a lovely little village at each end.
the place where I want to spend the rest of my life is here
😔💖💖💖💖
Manifesting moving to UK w my son. Not sure when or how but it will happen eventually. Watching this walks helps me visualize my dreams of moving to a peaceful place surrounded by nature. 🙏🏼🙏🏼 it's so beautiful. Thank you so much!
Try and get a job here probably you know that 😅 🌹🏴👍🏻
Make sure you got plenty of money then because you won't be living in a place like otherwise..
Hermoso el recorrido. Son muy lindos tus videos. Gracias por permitirme conocer a traves de tus bellas caminatas. Saludos desde Buenos Aires! Argentina
Gracias, me alegra que te hayan gustado los paseos. 🇬🇧👋
Hello, thanks to you I am visiting places that I will never see. The weather is cool in the early hours. Be careful. We thank you. Best wishes... Everywhere is imagined🌍🙏👍
You are right it is often cool and crisp in the early morning, as well as quiet and calm. I'm glad I could bring these places a little closer to you. Thank you 😊
Смотреть ваши прогулки - один из лучших видов отдыха для меня. Очень красиво, невероятно спокойно. Благодарю за чудесные эмоции. Восхищаюсь вашей страной.
Ooooooo my my .... Sirrrrr your video it's not just video I found my painting path for next paintings ... Such peaceful place that I want to go right now ❤❤... The evening moment you have captured and made us see sooo much deep welcoming and warm ... Thank you from the bottom of heart...
Excellent filming, lovely scenery
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you very much.
Beautiful village,love from Serbia
Thank you for a lovely walk today ❤️
Thank you for joining the walk 🥰
I watched a few of your videos months ago then forgot to subscribe and lost you. As soon as the you tube algorithm recommended you again I immediately subscribed. I am in hot Texas at the moment and miss the Uk countryside. I have been to both villages and you can't beat the Uk for beautiful villages.
I’m glad you found me again. We have been having a heat wave here in the UK, but the rain came today! I hope the walk brought back some nice memories. Best wishes.
God! this is a blessing! Thank you for this wonderful journey through a fairy tale!!!
It is a pleasure to see you recording a video once again.
Thank you 😊. Hopefully another one soon.
Thank you dear Adam for this lovely walk.
Bless you. A pleasure.
The color green is wonderfully lovely. I wonder if anyone in the UK ever has to water their greenery or even knows what a water hose is used for. (says the person from the desert) Thanks for posting 'everywhere is imagined', the footage of buildings and landscape is amazing. And the informative added text (subtitles) is appreciated so there is less speaking and simply enjoying the sounds of the film while learning about the area and history as well. This video is pure delight. Again, thank you
Thank you for the lovely comment, so nice to know you appreciate the walk as well as the accompanying text. Your comment about the hose made me laugh and we sometimes have hose pipe bans as people love watering their green grass, growing flowers and veg patches so much.
We get so much rain no need to 😄
Gorgeous!
Thank you! 😊
Thank you for this wonderful,wonderful walk ! Bless you.
beautifully filmed we were in Lower Slaughter in October this year truly lovely place
it's so strange to see such a touristy place without tourists... but nice.
I find myself in the 19th century watching this. 🥰 Thank you!
More like 15th/16th century
Beautiful
Thank you
Glad to see you back. Once again, your videography is stunning. You seem to pick the right time and location to show the beauty of your country. One thing I would like to see if if you could mention the approximate time of the year you film a particular piece. This looked like Spring or late spring to me though posted in July. The exact date is not necessary and I know you often walk on Sunday mornings, but the time of the year would be nice to know for those of us who travel to England. Somehow, I expected you to pass Father Brown as you moved between the two villages!
That would have been amazing to pass a member of the cloth on the walk... maybe while holding a cream tea, a perfect English scene. The walk was filmed on a Saturday at 6am on May 28, 2022. Ideally I would have liked to have uploaded this sooner and hope to get back to a better walk and upload time. Thank you for the for the comment about the videography it is greatly appreciated.
Какая красота! Везде чисто, зелено. Это - Рай на земле! Спасибо за это видео! А где все люди? Ни один человек не встретился по дороге.
He's walking in the early morning 6AM -7AM it's the best time to. Record footage before everyone awakens..
@@ORDEROFTHEKNIGHTSTEMPLAR13 Спасибо за ответ.
Excellent!! Loved the greeting to the sheep!
I must stop watching videos showing beautiful (to say the least) places like these. It makes my heart ache.
Sorry… I hope the ache heals
The beauty here is addictive 😂 🏴🌹
One word only. Beautiful
Too kind. Thank you
Thank you so much Mr. Adam 😊....Stockholm is really an imagined beautiful place.
Hope to meet you one day. 👏
Stockholm??? This is England
Love your videos! Of all the walking tours on CZcams, your channel is by far the best - the cinematography and choice of location is superb. You've curated your walks to be extremely peaceful. Hope to see more in the future :)
I went here 3 Months ago and it’s so nice that I get to relive these memories with this video. Thank you
How fantastic, I hope it brought back some good memories. Thank you too, a pleasure.
That's like I imagine paradise!
Grazie grazie e ancora grazie...I watch your videos everyday...They make my soul happy...
A beautiful, really relaxing walk. Just what I needed. Thanks for posting.
A pleasure. Glad it helped your day a little
A pleasure see all your videos and thank you bring me green England waiting another video soon take care
I’ve filmed a few but not sure which to choose. As ever thank you for the kind words. Best wishes
De nuevo, mil gracias por el precioso paseo por esas villas con unos paisajes estupendos que atrapó con su cámara para disfrute nuestro y la interesante historia que nos cuenta del lugar, vive Ud. en un país muy bello, lo felicito!
Realmente es un placer compartir este lugar con personas tan amables que dedican su tiempo a responder con amables comentarios. Nunca había estado aquí antes, así que fue encantador descubrirlo y compartirlo. Gracias
What a beautiful place. I wish I could live there. Thank you for sharing.
This was a trip to heaven, it's so beautiful. I really enjoyed this video and the commentary. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed the walk and the commentary. It really was a lovely morning. Thank you for the kind comment
i've just started the video and it's already painfully beautiful
sorry 🫤
:D you’re funny. there’s a book by a modern orthodox saint, st. porphyrios, called ‘wounded by love’ and in a similar way i am wounded by your work. i usually have your morning walks playlist on while i pray in the morning, and when i look up at the screen from time to time, i am regularly wounded by the beauty you’ve captured, causing gasps or sighs or heart swells or weak knees. so, thank you(?)
That is lovely to know how you have the walks on while praying, it sounds like a calm way to start the day. Me joking aside it is a lovely comment, thank you
Beautiful. Thank you. Love from Galicia.
A pleasure. Thank you 😊 🥰
Ваши видео - релакс и наслаждение красотой!
Absolutely stunning!
It was a special morning 😊
Always comforting, thank you 🕊🕊🕊
Absolutely gorgeous!
This is most certainly heaven on Earth ❤
It was a lovely morning and just as lovely to share 😊
Absolutely beautiful!

Good morning Adventurer,
welcome to Meadows!
Сказочные домики! Красота!❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍👍👍👍
Это мило! 😊🥰
thank you!
Just to say that even though I live in a hill-top suburb of a nearby large town, there is, if you're lucky with the weather in a British summer, a lustrous glow of light at around six that hits off the redbrick houses and distant steeples, a clean crisp blue illuminates the cloudless sky, and the air is somewhat sharp but also sweet. You can go for a walk without a soul around. It's a time of peace and grace; a wonderful hour that few ever see. Robert, UK.
That’s a lovely description Robert. I will miss the clear crisp early summer mornings.
Thanks!
Very nice tour, have a bessed week! 💚✨
Thank you.
