Well ... apart from the name it's obviously a lovely place!

What a quaint little corner! Have to wonder how it came by the name....

It is a beautiful little village.  Sadly the name most likely comes from the old English word 'slothre' which means (rather disappointingly) 'muddy place'

Much better to be "muddy place" than a place of violence....

You make a very good point.  Interesting how the original Anglo-Saxon word has slowly changed to mean something very different over the centuries though
