All about Cotswold
If you close your eyes and imagine the English countryside, with chocolate-box villages set among rolling hills, you’re likely picturing the region known as the Cotswolds. This Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty measures just under 800 square miles and spans six counties. Most of the houses are honey-coloured, thanks to the local Cotswolds stone, and topped with either slate or thatched roofs. The area gained its wealth in the medieval period due to the quality of the wool it produced, but was sadly left behind during the industrialisation era of the 19th century.
As such, this part of the English countryside is beautifully frozen in time, still thriving on its farming industry, with arable crops, sheep, cows, and horses at every turn behind the dry-stone walls. Beyond the Georgian city of Bath, famed for its connection to one of Britain’s most famous female authors, you will find the area peppered with villages and towns bursting with English character and charm.
What are the top things to do in Cotswold?
Bourton on the Water
Known as the Venice of the Cotswolds, this is a picturesque example of the quintessential English village, with the River Windrush passing along the high street under low stone bridges. For autophiles, the local Cotswolds Motoring and Toy Museum is brimming with car-related exhibits. For a real British experience, go to the Model Village, a miniature replica of the village made of the same golden Cotswolds stone.
Broadway Tower
For the best view of the Cotswolds, you should head to Broadway Tower, which was built as a folly in 1799. It has been home to some influential people, whose lives are explored at the Tower. Most impressive are the views, which are said to cover 62 miles, 16 counties, and two countries.
Chedworth Roman Villa
Travel back almost 2,000 years and visit the ruins of one of the most stunning Roman villas in England, Chedworth Roman Villa, set among the rolling green hills. You have the chance to see stunning on-site Roman mosaics and learn about their innovative hypocaust systems.
