One of the most beautiful villages in my home county of Cheshire, is the historic village of Great Budworth.
A quintessential English village, first mentioned in the Doomsday Book in the year 1130.
Set in the heart of some of England's most picturesque countryside, it is home to the magnificent St Mary and All Saints Church, The George and Dragon Pub, and the Great Budworth Ice Cream Farm, all within walking distance of it's cottage-lined streets.
What a magical place to call home......

Jo, so glad you took us on a tour of your 'hood';). It is so beautiful. I wish we had places like that in the States.
Oh my what wonderful old buildings and history! What a wonderful place to call home!
That does look like a beautiful English village! Lots of beautiful buildings.
Simply glorious! Thank you!
I regularly read your wonderful blog and for this time, I just want to thank you to share with us these beautiful photos of this village...they make me dreaming a lot !
What a beautiful country ! :)
Thank you Jo !
Very beautiful. I do wonder how many tourists this must get in the summer! :-)
Beautiful pictures. It's amazing how long the old cottages have stood, unlike the houses of today. I always feel homesick for England at this time of year.

My mother missed England more than ever in her later years. I want to go and spend a month. Is that crazy? Wondering if I can afford all that. Did you drive there???
Beautiful !
Hilary, I took my driver's license thinking I would drive, but sadly I couldn't build up the courage to...lol

In 1635, my ancestors boarded a ship called Truelove from a port in England. They were leaving their village, Fairsted and Terling, for the New World in America. I would like to think Fairsted and Terling looked a bit like the village you've been so gracious to share with us. Thank you Jo!

What a beautiful place Jo! I would give anything to visit there someday and just sit and feel the history and peaceful grace that seems to exude even from the photos! I hope you are doing well and getting ready for the holidays! Take care and have a lovely day!

Beautiful. An English village at its best. I really miss my old timbered cottage, so much character.
These photos are so wonderful to see. The historic structures are so great to see. I am reminded of some of the influence that they made on our structures here in the USA. I am not an authority on the styles but do recognize some of the features that are definitely British.
Loved seeing your pictures Jo. I would love to see it all in person. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
So glad to see these lovely pictures. We're from Alabama. My husband's parents were married at St. Mary and All Saints in 1956. We visited there in 2002 and don't have many pictures. These are wonderful to look at!
