The Cotswolds

The CotswoldsThe beautiful region of the Cotswolds, one of the most quintessentially English and unspoilt areas in England. 

With its stunning countryside, lively market towns and sleepy villages, this area is almost 800 square miles in size. It spans across many counties, including Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Warwickshire, Wiltshire and Worcestershire. Stretching 78 miles from Chipping Campden to Bath, the Cotswolds is one of the largest Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty in England, and a popular holiday destination.

Attracting visitors from all over the world, this beautiful area is known for breathtaking countryside, gentle hillsides (‘wolds’), along with picture-perfect towns and villages. You’ll feel like you’re stepping back hundreds of years when you visit this area, with its castles, stately homes and magnificent palaces.

Explore the quaint market town of Stow-on-the-Wold, the highest of the Cotswolds towns, and visit the fascinating antique shops, beautiful art galleries and unique gift stores. Discover picturesque Bourton on the Water, famous for its honey-coloured stone architecture, and regularly voted as one of the prettiest villages in England.

On the banks of the River Avon, the town is perhaps best known as being the birthplace of the poet and playwright, William Shakespeare.
