The Cotswolds on a sunny September afternoon

We hadn't been to England for 30 years, so we decided to pick up where we'd left off. On our last visit we got to Oxford but missed the Cotswolds. This time, we rented a car for the afternoon and found that the villages were as beautiful as we'd been told. In some of the more popular villages, parking and overcrowding were an issue, but our favorite village was the lesser-known Blockley.
