Stow-on-the-Wold, Market town at Cotswolds hilltop, England.
Located at an elevation of 790 feet, Stow-on-the-Wold sits at the intersection of six major roads in Gloucestershire, including the ancient Roman Fosse Way.
The town received its royal charter in 1107 and gained prominence as a trading center where up to 20,000 sheep were sold in a single market day.
St Edward's Church features a north door framed by ancient yew trees that influenced J.R.R. Tolkien's literary works, particularly the Doors of Durin.
The Market Square contains numerous independent shops, tearooms, and antique stores, with regular farmers markets continuing the town's trading tradition.
The Porch House, dating from 947 AD, stands as England's oldest inn, originally built as a hospice and maintaining its hospitality function through centuries.
