Lechlade in the county of Gloucestershire, is the point at which the River Thames joins the River Colne and Leach. It’s a quiet country town, nine miles north of Swindon on the upper marshes of the River Thames and visitors enjoy boating, fishing and the scenic views at the Riverside. Close by is St John's Lock and the old Ha’Penny Bridge which spans the Thames as well as Kelmscott, home of craftsmaster, writer and designer, William Morris.

Within the town, there’s a 15th century church with its unusual figures and tower buttresses as well as medieval inns and other historical and attractive buildings, making a walk through the town a rewarding one. Monti’s famous statue of Neptune is also situated here.
