The Victoria Inn is a traditional, cosy, pretty country pub which overlooks the quintessential Cotswold village of Eastleach.

Discreetly situated only minutes from the market town of Burford and the riverside town of Lechlade, Eastleach feels truly secluded, has an ageless appeal and has been Eastleache's village inn since 1856.

I had the delight of shooting the White Swan during a heat wave last summer, fantastic light.

A fascinating building and apparently haunted, an Inn existed on the site since 1352. The White Swan was first documented in 1358 and the current White Swan erected between 1550 and 1565. A warren rooms and spaces, hidden staircases and creaky floorboards it’s historical feel is transporting.
