Neighborhood info

Somewhat of an under-the-radar gem when it comes to Cotswold destinations, the village of Blockley offers a picture-perfect escape for those in search of quintessential Cotswolds yet away from the crowds, nestled in a valley far from the well-trodden tourist track. Blockley developed as a mill town during the 9th Century, using the water of Blockley Brook to power 12 water mills that are recorded in the Domesday Book. During the 18th and 19th centuries Blockley was a major centre of England’s silk industry, with the silk mills using Blockley Brook, which runs through the centre of the village and forms the boundary of Stepping Stones’ garden. Following the collapse of the silk industry, the town went into relative decline, leaving behind lots of mill buildings and workers cottages - perfect for renovation and development in the 20th Century. At its heyday, Blockley had over 60 shops, seven inns, four banks, and two piano factories and the Vulcan iron foundry and works. Today there is one excellent shop/cafe, a pub, a hotel, several small business units and a Post Office. The entire parish lies within the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).
