Exploring Moreton-in-Marsh: The Gateway to the Cotswolds
This principal market town is known as the Gateway to the Cotswolds for good reason. Situated on the Fosse Way, it is now served by the main-line railway from London Paddington. It is easy to get to. Walkers come here and use it as a base to walk to neighbouring counties.
The Bell Inn, widely accepted as the inspiration for J.R.R. Tolkien’s Prancing Pony in The Lord of the Rings. It was here that Tolkien often met his brother, who lived in Evesham.
Further down the High Street is Redesdale Hall, Moreton’s town hall, built in 1887, the hall was a subject for the painter L.S. Lowry who visited the Cotswolds in the 1940s. It is now part of a private collection owned by Sir Elton John.
