This is the stunning vista from the garden of one of Pensford's three pubs a mere 20-minute drive south of Bristol. Fewer than a thousand people call it home but the village has become a hotspot for tourists in recent years.
Pensford may be small but a post-Covid renaissance has meant its rich history coupled with the beautiful surroundings pulls visitors in like moths to a flame. Some 20 minutes up the A37 or a trip on the 376 bus service you'll find much of the medieval street layout left intact.
It is home to a number of protected buildings with Grade-II accreditation - including the 14th century St Thomas à Becket Church and the octagonal lock-up building - many of which scarcely withstood damage from the Great Floods of 1968.
