Located four miles south-west of Stow-on-the-Wold, Lower Slaughter is a small village in the Cotswold county of Gloucestershire, England. The settlement spans both sides of the slow-moving River Eye, which flows through Upper Slaughter and under two footbridges. A water mill built in the 19th century at the western edge of the settlement uses an undershot waterwheel and a chimney to generate steam. In the middle of the village, where the river widens, is a ford crossed by many small stone footbridges. St. Mary's Church, a picturesque structure, can be seen in Lower Slaughter. St. Peter's Church in Upper Slaughter is a historic Norman building with elements dating back to the 12th century, while the reconstructed church and its spectacular spire date to the 1867. Travelers will find everything they need in the village, including a gas station and a classic tavern called The Slaughters Country Inn. Bourton-on-the- The Birdland Park & Gardens, Cotswold Motoring Museum & Toy Collection, and Greystones Farm Nature Reserve in nearby Water provide for a delightful day trip.
