Situated about 12 miles west of Peterborough, King’s Cliffe in Northamptonshire is the perfect image of an idyllic English village. Originally based on the site of a royal manor dating back to the Anglo-Saxon times, the small village (you can probably walk the length in 15 minutes) has been perfectly maintained with the mix of period houses built from the same local limestone.

Locals like to call King’s Cliffe and its surrounding area as the “undiscovered Cotswolds”. Indeed, the picturesque village circled by meadows, brooks and rolling farmland equals the Cotswolds’ beauty. The main difference? No tourists.
