About Parks Farm
The Setting and History of Parks Farm
Parks
Farm nestles onto a hillside beside the
ancient deer park wall that once belonged to Sudeley Castle. At one
time it had been part of a self-sufficient farmstead comprising three
semi-detached cottages with its own black smithy (the bellows are now
in the Winchcombe museum); and there was no proper track leading to it
until the 20th Century. In Saxon times most of the valley above Sudeley
Castle would have been used for hunting.
The present cottage is typical of the area; it is built of weathered honey coloured Cotswold stone with a stone tiled roof. It is listed and dates from the 17th century. It enjoys lovely views west (sunset) and north across the valley, to Winchcombe and forty miles beyond.
In 1987 it was altered by the present family to become one house. There are many beams and low doorways. Breakfast is served around a large table in the kitchen; and is cooked on an Aga, which warms the heart of the house.
Parks Farm is featured in the 2009 edition of Lonely Planet's guide to England:
Stay on a 17th-century Cotswold hill farm just outside the town for an insight into local life. This friendly B&B has two cosy rooms with views over the rolling hills, and guests are served breakfast in a beamed kitchen with one large table and a roaring Aga.
Parks Farm was also featured in an article by Jon Beer in the March 2009 edition of Country Living.
