The pretty villages of Upper Slau ghter
and Lower Slaughter are about a mile apart. Their names come from the old name
for a stream or "Slough", rather than referring to any great massacres.
 Upper
Slaughter is the less touched by tourism. It has an open square, bordered by
cottages that were re-modeled in 1906 in keeping with Cotswold style. Little
bridges, wild flowers and serenity point up perhaps what the visitor imagines
the ideal village to be like.
Lower Slaughter, is as the name implies, downstream of Upper Slaughter, and the
river is a feature of the village as it flows between neatly mown grass banks.
The red brick built corn mill, with its tall chimney and water wheel, contrast
with the rest of the village, and its traditional Cotswold stone cottages
