My stay is located in Moreton-in-Marsh in Cotswold, and it is a convenient location because it has a train station and bus connections that go north and south of the Cotswold region.
On this day, I took a local bus to Stow-on-the-Wold and Bourton-on-the-Water from Moreton-in-Marsh. The same bus stops at the two places, so it is convenient to travel in one day.
The first stop was Stow-on-the-Wold, and it took about 15 minutes from Moreton-in-Marsh.

Crossing over the bridge again to the other side. The town is small and there are not many places that I can go to.
Back to the other side, I have probably been here before
I took the bus back to Moreton-in-Marsh. Moreton-in-Marsh is less charming than the other two and more industrial.
