Bourton-on-the-Water
Bourton-on-the-Water is a real village that spends every summer being photographed as a souvenir of one. It even has a model village of itself, which is handy when the full-size version is three deep in coach parties. When James Bond came to film, the crew pointed the cameras at the car park, and anyone who has tried to park here in August understands why it got top billing. Residents get the place back in November, along with the river and most of the pavement.
