Over 100 cars were exhibited in the fields behind Filkins Farmhouse.
An excellent totally relaxed family day out with many attractions.
As well as the Classic Car Show, a dozen gardens were open under the National Gardens Scheme.
Filkins is a delightful Cotswold village of considerable antiquity with many local stone buildings, some from the 1600s. There was a large Saxon burial mound and possibly a Roman settlement. However, it's now a small village with a huge Web Site - do have a look at it - there is a wealth of information. They are also shortlisted for the Village Of The Year competition. They're already the best in the South East, so now they just have to beat 'them up North'!
The Cotswolds of course were built on wool and the Cotswold Woollen Weavers is worth a visit, with 1920s weaving machines. You can also see the wood carving centre, the stonemasons and the museum.
