Lower Slaughter sits in the heart of the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire, England, a picture‑postcard village on the banks of the River Eye with honey‑coloured limestone cottages, a historic water mill and a gently flowing millrace that draw walkers and photographers. It is small and quiet, a short stroll from the tourist hub of Bourton-on-the-Water and neighbouring Upper Slaughter, and lies within the wider Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Historically an agricultural place, today much of the local economy revolves around tourism, small businesses and holiday accommodation, while the community retains a rural feel and occasional local events; the village name itself comes from an old English word for a muddy or sloughed place rather than anything grim, which often surprises visitors.
