Hi @hfg Iām so happy you enjoyed the article and I hope you manage to find a house sit in the Cotswolds in 2027! 
Hi @temba Iām so glad you enjoyed the Morse tour, no doubt you visited the various drinking establishments in the city that Morse and Lewis would pop in to from time to time, but did the tour also include The Trout Inn, on the Thames at Wolvercote? This is a lovely 17th-century pub, known as Inspector Morseās favourite local spot where he frequently enjoyed a pint while Lewis drank orange juice!
It is a lovely spot to enjoy a bite to eat on a warm summerās afternoon by the river.
Hi @temba @Highfive On the subject of museums, have you visited The Ashmolean in Oxford?
It is the University of Oxfordās museum of art and archaeology, founded in 1683. The museum houses world famous collections ranging from Egyptian mummies to contemporary art which tell the story of humans across cultures and time.
It is worth checking their website because they also have exhibitions which change. Also, you can indulge yourself with a delicious Afternoon tea at their rooftop restaurant!
The tour didnāt include The Trout Inn but Iāve been there several times. Just a lovely location to enjoy a cider or two @Sam_F
And yes, The Ashmolean and The Bodleian Library were incredible places to visit. Spent hours there. I was cat sitting in a small village on the edge of Oxford so I could walk in to enjoy something different each day.
Donāt forget punting on the Avon River as well!
Two other great museums that are close to one another and are both in central Oxford are the Natural History Museum and the Pitt Rivers Museum. Both have much to recommend them. Pitt Rivers collected and travelled widely and I happily spent hours in both museums. Impossible not to be fascinated by both museums- they are superb! Pitt Rivers Museum asks for a voluntary contribution on entry. Highly recommend.
Agree @Highfive , those two museums are well worth visiting.
Hi @temba the house sit you did there sounds idyllic!
If you are an Inspector Morse fan then there is also another lovely pub by the Oxford canal called The Boat Inn which is located in Thrupp, just north of Oxford. The Morse Dining Room there also has a large amount of photographic memorabilia from the episodes featuring the pub and it has also been featured in āBarging Around Britainā with John Sergeant where he explores the best canal journeys Britain has to offer.
As you can tell Iām a huge Inspector Morse fan and I even named a cat āMorseā that I had after him! 
Hi @Highfive great recommendations, thank you!
You also just reminded me about Broadway Tower and Park, located just outside Broadway village, where they have a Nuclear Bunker Museum which is open at limited times between April and October. Broadway Tower itself is open year round and has two lovely cafes and incredible views are offered from the viewing platform at the top of the tower. You can also enjoy some wonderful walks through the 200 acres of surrounding parkland. I highly recommend a visit here!
@Sam_F I too have climbed all those stairs to the Big Buddah statue in HK. Itās spectacular. I loved the very long cable car ride to get there too.
Hi @Crookie when you visited the Big Buddha, did you see and stroke any of the cows that now roam free there?
I was surprised to learn that these are ancestors of the dairy herd kept on the Trappist farm which were released when the farm became no longer profitable in the 1980ās.
A couple more places you might like to visit in the Cotswolds and the surrounding area are Harcourt Arboretum, owned and run by the University of Oxford. This 130-acre site is actually a satellite of the Oxford Botanic Garden and features historic woodlands, rare global trees, and seasonal wildflower meadows. It can be found near Nuneham Courtenay. My favourite at the arboretum are the giant redwoods.
Also, as @temba mentioned, for anyone who loves gardens, there is Hidcote Manor Garden which is considered one of the finest and most influential Arts and Crafts gardens in England. The garden is divided into a series of distinct outdoor āroomsā like the White Garden and the Red Borders. There is also a lovely cafe there called Winthropās CafĆ© where they serve homemade hot meals, coffee and scones.
Incidentally, from September 26th, the garden will be transformed into the world of Brambly Hedge. A charming storybook landscape inspired by Jill Barklemās beloved tales.
@Sam_F Yes we did see plenty of cows roaming freely but didnāt pat any. They were not concerned at all about all the tourists.
