Disabled Travellers 3rd Cotswold tour (part 5) WOOLEN Weavers
Set SAT NAV. GL7 3JJ. WOOLEN WEAVERS, LECHLADE
A nice well cared for WOOLEN weaving outlet, with top quality garments on sale, a working weaving factory section, when working, and a small pleasant cafe.
The Cotswold history revolves around sheep, that for over 500 years the sheep have created the rolling hills and landscapes. It’s the money produced from sheep that allowed the quarries here to be so successful, producing that lovely golden or grey like stone that makes a trip into the Cotswolds so delightful. Generations of hardworking shepherds, wool merchants and weavers have all made a mark on the land, and here in this very nice little outlet, you can see a design studio, a museum, furniture, a rug warehouse, and outside a sculpture gallery, and when you need to sit and contemplate on how to wisely spend your money, you can take a break to think at the coffee shop.
The village of Filkins, where the outlet lies, is on an ancient route across the Cotswolds and down towards the South West, with lovely mellow limestone buildings offering an overview of past splendour, where this short break will prove to be of interest to you we feel sure.
