About Blockley

Blockley breathes a quiet dignity, a Cotswold gem where stone cottages seem to gather organically upon the land. It lies 4.5 km south-south-east of Chipping Campden (from Chipping Campden: bearing 164°T, OS grid SP 163 348), and is situated west-south-west of Draycott village. The very contours of the landscape here, a gentle folding of the earth, have guided the village's growth, its ancient lanes winding with a logic born of centuries. Once a thriving centre for the silk industry, the echoes of water power from its former mills can still be imagined along the shallow stream that meanders through its heart. The honey-coloured stone of its buildings, warmed by the infrequent sun, lends Blockley a timeless glow, a subtle testament to the enduring craft of its builders. Here, the air often carries the faint scent of woodsmoke, a comforting aroma that speaks of hearths and home.
