Eastleach Martin, Gloucestershire

Take a leisurely stroll around the picturesque Gloucestershire village Eastleach Martin with poet John Betjeman.

Travelogue 1955 3 mins

Overview

"The way to look at a village is to get out of your car and walk". Join poet and broadcaster John Betjeman on a leisurely stroll around Eastleach Martin. Nestling into Gloucestershire's rolling hills alongside the River Leach, the village retains its picture postcard charm today. This is one of 26 travelogues that Betjeman made for Shell's Discovering Britain series in the 1950s, which saw him venture all around the British Isles.
