Step back in time and immerse yourself in the quaint charm of a thatched cottage. Nestled on Village Street in Yapton, West Sussex, this picturesque abode is a true testament to the beauty of traditional architecture. Dating back to 1932, the Old Cottage at Houghton exudes history from every nook and cranny. As you wander through the village streets, you'll stumble upon hikers outside Bignor Old Shop in 1931. Their weary feet find respite as they admire the thatched roofs that dot the landscape. Chapel Street in Watlington captures a moment frozen in time around 1920, showcasing an idyllic scene where these cottages stand proudly. Traveling further north brings us to Shaftesbury's Gold Hill in Dorset, England. Here, a stunning thatched cottage overlooks breathtaking vistas of rolling hills and cobblestone streets below. Across borders lies Gort A Choirce (Gortahork) Co Donegal, Ireland – a place where Irish tradition meets rustic beauty. Suffolk's Somerleyton enchants with its collection of charming Thatched Cottages; their roofs seem like something out of a fairytale book come to life. Venture even farther north to Scotland's Isle of Berneray on North Uist within Outer Hebrides – here stands a delightful combination of both cottage and hostel adorned with thatch. Art lovers will appreciate "The Caller at the Mill, " an oil painting capturing rural tranquility surrounding yet another enchanting thatched cottage. Meanwhile, Doolin village in County Clare showcases not one but two glimpses into Ireland's rich heritage - traditional details adorning one cottage while vibrant colors grace another street nearby. Finally, Lacock village welcomes visitors with open arms as they discover yet another gem: a charmingly preserved thatched cottage nestled amongst Wiltshire's countryside beauty.
