The classic view of Snowshill, Gloucestershire, England

St Barnabas Church and churchyard in the centre of this small remote village.

 

Apart from appearing in the 2001 film Bridget Jones's Diary as the home of her parents, the village's chief attraction is the wonderfully picturesque small manor house owned by the National Trust. Literally packed to bursting with the collections of Charles Wade, it's eccentric owner who gave the manor to the trust in 1951 and who had lived most of the time in a small cottage in the gardens as there was no room left in the house!

A relatively new attraction not too far away is the ever expanding lavender farm on the high thin limestone soils above the village.
