Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen's Escape to the Country - Villadom in the Cotswolds

Logo for Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen's Escape to the Country - Villadom in the Cotswolds

Escaping the city for the countryside is as old as the Romans. In this final episode of Escape to the Country, Laurence Llewelyn Bowen visits the roman villa at Chedworth, near his home in Cirencester, Gloucestershire. This is picture postcard Britain - the Cotswolds known as 'The heart of England' and it's littered with second homes - both ancient and modern. Since time in memoriam, it's lured city workers to delight in its health giving waters, soft light and exquisite landscape - to escape the travails of the office for the weekend.
