The Cotswolds

If you’re looking for somewhere different with a surprise round every corner then look no further than the beautiful Cotswolds.

The Cotswolds is most famous for quintessentially English market towns and villages built from honey-coloured stone, the Cotswolds are a range of gently rolling hills and the largest area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in England which makes it a perfect base for keen walkers and cyclists.
