About Upper Dowdeswell

Upper Dowdeswell rests where the Cotswold hills begin their gentle southward sweep, a place of quiet stone and rolling green. It lies 6.7 km east-south-east of Cheltenham (from Cheltenham: bearing 117°T, OS grid SP 008 194), and is situated south-south-west of Whittington village. The hamlets of Upper and Lower Dowdeswell together speak of a long agricultural past, their fields often catching the low sun in a way that turns the very air to honey. The houses, built of the local warm-toned limestone, seem to grow from the land itself, their roofs a muted grey against the ever-changing sky. A faint scent of damp earth and woodsmoke often hangs in the air, especially in the cooler months. The quietude here is profound, broken only by the distant bleating of sheep or the call of a curlew over the open downs.
