More about this scene
Immortalised by Laurie Lee in his autobiography 'Cider With Rosie', Slad and its wooded valley is known throughout the world by millions of readers who have never been there. We may be thankful that the village has managed to avoid the worst excesses of 20th-century development and that it is much as it was during Lee's boyhood. Slad is not the most beautiful village in the Cotswolds. Its setting is not the most spectacular, compared to some of its neighbours. But it does look as though it really belongs to the setting it has. It is a place of pilgrimage for admirers of Laurie Lee's writings—and a delightful day out for anyone.
