They are peaceful, idyllic settings by the river and home to one of the UK’s most romantic streets – Copse Hill Road. Visitors can drive slowly past the tiny, honey-colored houses adorned with colorful flowers and traditional windows, set beside the babbling brook. Lower Slaughter is also a picturesque movie location, most recently featured in the 2020 Jane Austen film ‘Emma’. Artists from far and wide come to paint these beautiful villages, which have remained unchanged since 1906.
