Just ninety minutes from London in the heart of the English countryside, the Cotswolds feature some of the most picturesque towns and villages in the UK. Bursting with honey-coloured stone cottages, stunning scenery, gorgeous places to stay and things to do, they’re perfect for a short break or longer stay.
Covering almost 800 square miles and running through five counties, each area has its own distinct personality and identity making it a diverse and interesting place to explore.
As well as breath-taking landscapes and picture-perfect towns and villages, the Cotswolds are home to lively market towns, some of the country’s greatest palaces, castles and country houses, world-class gardens and arboreta – and the country’s only inland beach!
The stunning landscape offers more than 3,000 miles of footpaths and bridleways as well as ancient woodland and wildflower meadows. It’s perfect for walkers and cyclists looking for challenging or more gently routes to explore. Richly rural, the Cotswolds provide a rich harvest of food and drink with local cheeses, meats and drinks available across the region at the many gastro pubs, old inns, colourful cafes and fine dining restaurants.
Rest your head in accommodation to suit every style and budget – from the finest country house hotels to pubs with rooms and charming B&B’s – or go alternative and try some of our fabulous shepherds huts, treehouses or glamping options. Then venture out to one of our amazing attractions, museums, gardens, farm and wildlife parks.
With so much to see and do, we guarantee you’ll never be bored. Discover more at www.cotswolds.com.
