The Lygon Arms

There are destinations in the UK that don’t try to shout hard for attention. Instead they simply get noticed through a good helping of heritage, charm and a quiet sense of self. The Lygon Arms is tucked gracefully into the honey-hued vernacular of Broadway in the Cotswolds and it is one such a place.

There’s something oddly comforting about knowing a vehicle exists that puts function ahead of fluff. No pretence, no marketing gimmickry, just good, honest engineering. The new Toyota Land Cruiser doesn’t want to be your daily driver or your electric dream machine. It wants to be your workhorse and while putting it through its paces in and around the Cotswolds, I fell rather hard for it.
